Consumer Confidence Report Rule Retrospective Review
The Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) Rule was included in U.S. EPA’s Final Plan for Periodic Retrospective Reviews of Existing Regulations (August 2011). The CCR Rule Retrospective Review began in October 2011 and is expected to be completed by January 2013. During the Retrospective Review, EPA will identify opportunities for improving the effectiveness of the methods used to communicate drinking water information to the public while lowering the burden on water systems and states.
