SAB and LCRR, COVID-19

Science Advisory Board

In today’s Federal Register (march 16, 2020; LCRR_SAB Review) EPA announced that on March 30, 2020 (1:00 pm to 5:00 pm ET) the Science Advisory Board (SAB) will be briefed on two proposed regulations.  One of the proposed regulations is the Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (the other proposed regulation is under the Clean Air Act) .  The briefing will be via teleconference.

If the SAB decides to form technical workgroups to provide “advice and comments” on either rule, a second teleconference will be held May 11, 2020 to “discuss the workgroup reports.”
