maximum contaminant level, the Administrator
shall, with respect to a maximum contaminant level
that is being considered in accordance with
paragraph (4) and each alternative maximum
contaminant level that is being considered
pursuant to paragraph (5) or (6) (A), publish, seek
public comment on, and use for the purposes of
paragraphs (4), (5), and (6) an analysis of each
of the following,
"(I) Quantifiable and
nonquantifiable health risk reduction
benefits for which there is a factual
basis in the rulemaking record to
conclude that

[[Page 110 STAT. 1622]]

such benefits are likely to occur as the
result of treatment to comply with each
level.
"(II) Quantifiable and
nonquantifiable health risk reduction
benefits for which there is a factual
basis in the rulemaking record to
conclude that such benefits are likely
to occur from reductions in co-occurring
contaminants that may be attributed
solely to compliance with the maximum
contaminant level, excluding benefits
resulting from compliance with other
proposed or promulgated regulations.
"(III) Quantifiable and
nonquantifiable costs for which there is
a factual basis in the rulemaking record
to conclude that such costs are likely
to occur solely as a result of
compliance with the maximum contaminant
level, including monitoring, treatment,
and other costs and excluding costs
resulting from compliance with other
proposed or promulgated regulations.
"(IV) The incremental costs and
benefits associated with each
alternative maximum contaminant level
considered.
"(V) The effects of the contaminant
on the general population and on groups
within the general population such as
infants, children, pregnant women, the
elderly, individuals with a history of
serious illness, or other subpopulations
that are identified as likely to be at
greater risk of adverse health effects
due to exposure to contaminants in
drinking water than the general
population.
"(VI) Any increased health risk
that may occur as the result of
compliance, including risks associated
with co-occurring contaminants.
