This subparagraph shall not apply if the <br />contaminant is found almost exclusively in small systems <br />eligible under section 1415(e) for a small system <br />variance. <br />"(C) Disinfectants and disinfection byproducts.-- <br />The Administrator may not use the authority of this <br />paragraph to establish a maximum contaminant level in a <br />Stage I or Stage II national primary drinking water <br />regulation (as described in paragraph (2) (C)) for <br />contaminants that are disinfectants or disinfection <br />byproducts, or to establish a maximum contaminant level <br />or treatment technique requirement for the control of <br />cryptosporidium. The authority of this paragraph may be <br />used to establish regulations for the use of <br />disinfection by systems relying on ground water sources <br />as required by paragraph (8). <br />"(D) Judicial review.--A determination by the <br />Administrator that the benefits of a maximum contaminant <br />level or treatment requirement justify or do not justify <br />the costs of complying with the level shall be reviewed <br />by the court pursuant to section 1448 only as part of a <br />review of a final national primary drinking water <br />regulation that has been promulgated based on the <br />determination <br /> <br />[[Page 110 STAT. 1625J] <br /> <br />and shall not be set aside by the court under that <br />section unless the court finds that the determination is <br />arbitrary and capricious.'

The considerations <br />used in the development of the July 29, 1994, proposed national primary <br />drinking water regulation on disinfectants and disinfection byproducts <br />shall be treated as consistent with such section 1412(b) (5) for purposes <br />of such Stage I and Stage II rules. <br /> <br />(c) Review of Standards. --Section 1412 (b) (9) (42 U.S.C. 300g- <br />1 (b) (9)) is amended to read as follows: <br />"(9) Review and revision.--The Administrator shall, not <br />less often than every 6 years, review and revise, as <br /> <br />http://www.epa.gov/safewater/sdwa/text.html <br /> <br />.1 ablV I"t VI OJ <br /> <br />12/20/2001 <br />
