Public Water Supply Supervision Program, Program Revision for the
States of Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the States of Arkansas, Louisiana,
New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas are revising their approved State Public
Water Supply Supervision Primacy Program. These States have adopted
drinking water regulations for Lead and Copper, and National Primary
Drinking Water Regulation Implementation promulgated by EPA on June 7,
1991 (56 FR 26460). EPA has determined that these State program
revisions are no less stringent than the corresponding Federal
regulations. Therefore, EPA has tentatively decided to approve these
State program revisions.
All interested parties are invited to request a public hearing. A
request for a public hearing must be submitted by February 28, 1996 to
the Regional Administrator at the address shown below. Frivolous or
insubstantial requests for a hearing may be denied by the Regional
Administrator. However, if a substantial request for a public hearing
is made by February 28, 1996, a public hearing will be held. If no
timely and appropriate request for a hearing is received and the
Regional Administrator does not elect to hold a hearing on his own
motion, this determination shall become effective on February 28, 1996.
A request for a public hearing shall include the following: (1) The
name, address, and telephone number of the individual, organization, or
other entity requesting a hearing. (2) A brief statement of the
requesting person's interest in the Regional Administrator's
determination and of information that the requesting person intends to
submit at such hearing. (3) The signature of the individual making the
request; or, if the request is made on behalf of an organization or
other entity, the signature of a responsible official of the
organization or other entity.
