The guidance within this document can be used to comply with the requirements under the Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR) that are in effect at the time of document publication. As described in the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) Federal Register notice of December 17, 2021 (“Notification of conclusion of review”), EPA intends to publish a proposal to revise the LCRR and take final action on the proposal by October 16, 2024, but EPA does not expect to propose changes to the requirements for information to be submitted in the initial service line inventory. However, the rulemaking could include changes to the requirements for inventory updates (USEPA, 2021a) . This guidance can also assist public water systems with financing applications for Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) (P. L. 117-58) funds and for implementation once funding is received. Note that the BIL is also known as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) . The BIL contains a historic $15 billion in dedicated funding through the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) for lead service line (LSL) identification, planning, design, and replacement. LSL projects also may be funded using the General Supplemental DWSRF fund of $11.7 billion as well as annual base appropriations for the DWSRF. The BIL mandates that 49 percent of funds provided through the DWSRF General Supplemental Funding and DWSRF Lead Service Line Replacement Funding must be provided as grants and forgivable loans to disadvantaged communities. EPA encourages water systems to begin service line inventory and replacement efforts as soon as possible. EPA emphasizes that given the many benefits of lead service line replacement (LSLR), water systems should not wait until their inventory is complete to begin replacement efforts. In fact, conducting replacements while developing the inventory can have synergistic effects that enhance inventory development while accelerating and increasing the efficiency of replacement programs. The statutory provisions and EPA regulations described in this document contain legally binding requirements. This document is not a regulation itself, nor does it change or substitute for those provisions and regulations. Thus, it does not impose legally binding requirements on EPA, states, or the regulated community. This document does not confer legal rights or impose legal obligations upon any member of the public.  \nAlthough EPA has made every effort to ensure the accuracy of the discussion in this document, the legally binding requirements applicable to public water systems are determined by statutesand regulations. In the event of a conflict between the discussion in this document and any applicable statute or regulation, this document would not be controlling.  \nThe information collections associated with the LCRR have been submitted for approval to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act. The recordkeeping and reporting requirements described in this draft guidance align with the existing regulations and this guidance also includes recommendations for voluntary expanded data collection and recordkeeping. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not  \nrequired to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control number for the service line inventory is 2040-0297.  \nThe recommendations provided here may not apply to a particular situation based upon the circumstances. Because they are recommendations, and not legally binding requirements, public water systems retain the discretion to follow the recommendations or adopt approaches that differ from those described in this document.
