Consumer Confidence Report Rule Revision Public Listening Session

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will host a virtual public listening session on April 26, 2022, from 2:00pm to 5:00pm Eastern Time. The goal of this event is to obtain further public input on EPA’s revision to the Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) rule from public water systems, environmental groups, public interest groups, risk communication experts, and the States, and other interested parties. We will also be seeking input from individuals and communities that have historically been, as well as those that currently are, underserved by public health planning, policies, and practices and those communities that are most vulnerable to environmental injustices.

Anyone interested in attending the session, including signing up to speak for up to 5-minutes during the listening session may include the speaker add-on at registration. Please note there are a limited number of speakers. Potential topics of discussion may include, but are not limited to:

1. Tools that address challenges to developing CCRs.

2. CCR delivery methods, including electronic delivery options.

3. Considerations and concerns related to underserved communities and

environmental justice.

4. Opinions on biannual delivery, including timing and content of reports.

5. CCR accessibility challenges and solutions.

6. Improving readability, clarity, understandability, accuracy, and risk communication of the information presented in CCRs.
