National Drinking Water Advisory Council, Request for Nominations

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) invites all 
interested persons to suggest individuals to serve as members of the 
working groups that will be formed under the National Drinking Water 
Advisory Council on specific matters relating to implementation of the 
Safe Drinking Water Act. The Advisory Council was established to 
provide practical and independent advice, consultation, and 
recommendations to the Agency on the activities, functions and policies 
related to the Act as amended. At the April 29 and 30, 1998, meeting of 
the Council, it was decided that working groups should be formed on the 
following subjects: Small Systems; Shallow Injection Wells/Drinking 
Water Source Protection Program Integration; Public Right-to-Know; and 
Waterborne Disease Education. These working groups will join two 
established groups, Benefits and Operator Certification.
    Because membership on these groups will be limited and must be 
representative of balanced views, selections will be made by the 
Director, Office of Ground Water and Drinking Water, based on drinking 
water expertise and demonstrated interest in drinking water policy. Any 
interested person or organization may suggest an individual for a 
position on the working groups. Candidates should be identified by 
name, occupation, position, address and telephone number and the 
working group for which they wish to be considered for membership.
    Persons selected for membership are responsible for any expenses 
that would be incurred while attending meetings. Suggestions should be 
submitted to Charlene E. Shaw, Designated Federal Officer, National 
Drinking Water Advisory Council, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 
Office of Ground Water and Drinking Water (4601), 401 M Street SW, 
Washington, D.C. 20460, no later than May 28, 1998. The Agency will not 
formally acknowledge or respond to nominations. E-Mail your questions 
to [e-mail] or call 202/260-2285.

    Dated: May 12, 1998.
Cynthia C. Dougherty,
Director, Office of Ground Water and Drinking Water.
