{"abstract":"The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is requesting public comment on a draft National Water Reuse Action Plan. This draft Action Plan seeks to foster greater consideration of water reuse across the water sector, such as agriculture, industry, potable water and more. Safe and reliable water supplies for human consumption, agriculture, business, industry, recreation, and healthy ecosystems are critical to our Nation's communities and economy. The draft Action Plan describes how agriculture, industry, and communities have demonstrated the value of reusing water, largely in response to various forms of water crises such as drought or source water contamination. Water reuse can improve the security, sustainability, and resilience of our Nation's water resources, especially when considered at the watershed or basin scale, through integrated and collaborative water resource planning. To accelerate the consideration of water reuse approaches and build on existing science, research, policy, technology, and both national and international experiences, the EPA has facilitated development of this draft National Water Reuse Action Plan across the water sector and with federal, state, and tribal partners. The draft Action Plan is intended to seek commitments and drive action across the various stakeholder groups and the Nation. The plan consists of 46 proposed actions that support consideration and implementation of water reuse applications across ten strategic objectives. This action is part of a larger effort by the Administration to better coordinate and focus taxpayer resources on some of the Nation's most challenging water resource concerns, including ensuring water availability and mitigating the risks posed by droughts.","action":"Notice of availability; request for comments.","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/2019/09/16/2019-19984.html","cfr_references":[],"citation":"84 FR 48612","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2019-12-16","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Comments must be received on or before December 16, 2019.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["EPA-HQ-OW-2019-0174","FRL 9999-82-OW"],"dockets":[{"supporting_documents":[{"title":"National Water Reuse Action Plan Draft September 2019","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OW-2019-0174-0059"},{"title":"Discussion Framework for Development of a Draft Water Reuse Action Plan","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OW-2019-0174-0002"}],"agency_name":"EPA","documents":[{"comment_count":101,"comment_start_date":"2019-09-16","updated_at":"2023-02-28T21:01:53.484-05:00","comment_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/commenton/EPA-HQ-OW-2019-0174-0058","allow_late_comments":null,"id":"EPA-HQ-OW-2019-0174-0058","comment_end_date":"2019-12-17","regulations_dot_gov_open_for_comment":false}],"supporting_documents_count":2,"id":"EPA-HQ-OW-2019-0174","title":"Water Reuse Action Plan"}],"document_number":"2019-19984","effective_on":null,"end_page":48614,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2019/09/16/2019-19984.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2019/09/16/2019-19984/draft-national-water-reuse-action-plan","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2019-19984?publication_date=2019-09-16","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2019-09-16/2019-19984/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":3,"page_views":{"count":1956,"last_updated":"2026-09-22 00:15:09 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2019-09-16/pdf/2019-19984.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2019-19984.pdf?1568378723","publication_date":"2019-09-16","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2019/09/16/2019-19984.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{},"regulation_id_numbers":[],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"supporting_documents":[{"title":"National Water Reuse Action Plan Draft September 2019","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OW-2019-0174-0059"},{"title":"Discussion Framework for Development of a Draft Water Reuse Action Plan","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OW-2019-0174-0002"}],"comments_count":101,"agency_id":"EPA","comments_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/docketBrowser?rpp=50&so=DESC&sb=postedDate&po=0&dct=PS&D=EPA-HQ-OW-2019-0174","supporting_documents_count":2,"docket_id":"EPA-HQ-OW-2019-0174","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OW-2019-0174-0058","regulation_id_number":null,"title":"Water Reuse Action Plan","checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2023-03-01T02:01:52Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":48612,"subtype":null,"title":"Draft National Water Reuse Action Plan","toc_doc":"Draft National Water Reuse Action Plan","toc_subject":null,"topics":[],"type":"Notice","volume":84}
