The Administrator, <br />in making such selection, shall take into consideration, <br />among other factors of public health concern, the effect <br />of such contaminants upon subgroups that comprise a <br />meaningful portion of the general population (such as <br />infants, children, pregnant women, the elderly, <br />individuals with a history of serious illness, or other <br />subpopulations) that are identifiable as being at <br />greater risk of adverse health effects due to exposure <br />to contaminants in drinking water than the general <br />population. <br />"(D) Urgent threats to public health.--The <br />Administrator may promulgate an interim national primary <br />drinking water regulation for a contaminant without <br />making a determination for the contaminant under <br />paragraph (4) (C), or completing the analysis under <br />paragraph (3) (C), to address an urgent threat to public <br />health as determined by the Administrator after <br />consultation with and written response to any comments <br />provided by the Secretary of Health and Human Services, <br />acting through the director of the Centers for Disease <br />Control and prevention or the director of the National <br />Institutes of Health. <<NOTE: Publication.>> A <br />determination for any contaminant in accordance with <br />paragraph (4) (C) subject to an interim regulation under <br />this subparagraph shall be issued, and a completed <br />analysis meeting the requirements of paragraph (3) (C) <br />shall be published, not later than 3 years after the <br />date on which the regulation is promulgated and the <br />regulation shall be repromulgated, or revised if <br />appropriate, not later than 5 years after that date. <br />"(E) <<NOTE: Publication.>> Regulation.--For each <br />contaminant that the Administrator determines to <br />regulate under subparagraph (B), the Administrator shall <br />publish maximum contaminant level goals and promulgate, <br />by rule, national primary drinking water regulations <br />under this subsection. The Administrator shall propose <br />the maximum contaminant level goal and national primary <br />drinking water regulation for a contaminant not later <br />than 24 months after the determination to regulate under <br />subparagraph (B), and may publish such proposed <br />regulation concurrent with the determination to <br />regulate. The Administrator shall publish a maximum <br />contaminant level goal and promulgate a national primary <br /> <br />http://www.epa.gov/safewater/sdwa/text.html <br /> <br />~ 451:1 U U~ UJ <br /> <br />12/20/2001 <br />
