Abstract

As part of the Long-Term Revisions to the Lead and Copper Rule, EPA will publish a federal register notice requesting the peer review of the Agency’s report modeling the relationship between lead in drinking water and blood lead levels in children utilizing the Integrated Exposure Uptake Biokinetic (IEUBK) model. The report being peer reviewed may be used to inform the derivation of a concentration value for lead in drinking water that EPA is considering as a household value that could potentially trigger notification to residents, local health departments, and states that additional lead exposure assessment at the residence may be warranted. EPA may also use this water concentration level to inform when to provide the public with education materials related to lead; to prioritize lead service line replacement; or inform other risk mitigation actions, and potential requirements related to schools and other priority locations. EPA is also seeking nominations of peer reviewer candidates and comments on the draft modeling report, and draft charge questions for the peer review panel.
