{"abstract":"In this notice, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is finalizing additions to the Final Guidelines for the Certification and Recertification of the Operators of Community and Nontransient Noncommunity Public Water Systems, which were published in the Federal Register on February 5, 1999 (64 FR 5916). Specifically, EPA is finalizing its approach and schedule for review of state operator certification programs for the purpose of making Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) withholding determinations, and clarifying the meaning of the term \"validated exam\" in the Guidelines. In addition, EPA is also finalizing the allocation methodology and the process that will be used to award grants to states for the operator certification expense reimbursement grants program. This notice also provides the amount of funding that each state is eligible to receive from the grants program.","action":"Final notice.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY","name":"Environmental Protection Agency","id":145,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/environmental-protection-agency","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/145","parent_id":null,"slug":"environmental-protection-agency"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2001/04/18/01-9482.html","cfr_references":[],"citation":"66 FR 19939","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"This final notice is effective April 8, 2001.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["FRL-6967-3"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"01-9482","effective_on":"2001-04-08","end_page":19952,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"explanation":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2001/04/18/01-9482.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2001/04/18/01-9482/final-additions-to-the-final-guidelines-for-the-certification-and-recertification-of-the-operators","images":{"EN18AP01.000":{"large":"https://img.federalregister.gov/EN18AP01.000/EN18AP01.000_large.png","medium":"https://img.federalregister.gov/EN18AP01.000/EN18AP01.000_medium.png","original_size":"https://img.federalregister.gov/EN18AP01.000/EN18AP01.000_original_size.png"},"EN18AP01.001":{"large":"https://img.federalregister.gov/EN18AP01.001/EN18AP01.001_large.png","medium":"https://img.federalregister.gov/EN18AP01.001/EN18AP01.001_medium.png","original_size":"https://img.federalregister.gov/EN18AP01.001/EN18AP01.001_original_size.png"}},"images_metadata":{"EN18AP01.000":{"large":{"identifier":"EN18AP01.000","content_type":"image/png","size":45103,"width":823,"sha":"4ad4f817467208a90ed702f473423ed5","url":"https://img.federalregister.gov/EN18AP01.000/EN18AP01.000_large.png","height":1056},"medium":{"identifier":"EN18AP01.000","content_type":"image/png","size":27804,"width":574,"sha":"c310811d2712af424b2cbbfadfb4eaba","url":"https://img.federalregister.gov/EN18AP01.000/EN18AP01.000_medium.png","height":736},"original_size":{"identifier":"EN18AP01.000","content_type":"image/png","size":113576,"width":5008,"sha":"0ef02b7781adbfdbf31c505d91c66c5b","url":"https://img.federalregister.gov/EN18AP01.000/EN18AP01.000_original_size.png","height":6423}},"EN18AP01.001":{"large":{"identifier":"EN18AP01.001","content_type":"image/png","size":42184,"width":822,"sha":"61d7ad22da301e74dc5dcf13804e65ec","url":"https://img.federalregister.gov/EN18AP01.001/EN18AP01.001_large.png","height":1144},"medium":{"identifier":"EN18AP01.001","content_type":"image/png","size":26759,"width":574,"sha":"52d023d1a0775b4d1b299302dca7fe4e","url":"https://img.federalregister.gov/EN18AP01.001/EN18AP01.001_medium.png","height":798},"original_size":{"identifier":"EN18AP01.001","content_type":"image/png","size":123705,"width":4758,"sha":"d75d928bcd3475aaf308edff720dd6bd","url":"https://img.federalregister.gov/EN18AP01.001/EN18AP01.001_original_size.png","height":6618}}},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/01-9482?publication_date=2001-04-18","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2001-04-18/01-9482/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":14,"page_views":{"count":165,"last_updated":"2026-04-04 10:15:04 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2001-04-18/pdf/01-9482.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":null,"publication_date":"2001-04-18","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2001/04/18/01-9482.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{},"regulation_id_numbers":[],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":19939,"subtype":null,"title":"Final Additions to the Final Guidelines for the Certification and Recertification of the Operators of Community and Nontransient Noncommunity Public Water Systems; Final Allocation Methodology for Funding to States for the Operator Certification Expense Reimbursement Grants Program","toc_doc":"Operator Certification Expense Reimbursement Grants Program; State allocation methodology","toc_subject":"Reports and guidance documents; availability, etc.:","topics":[],"type":"Notice","volume":66}
