Public Water System Supervision Program Revision for the
Government of the Virgin Islands
AGENCY: United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the Government of the Virgin
Islands is revising its approved Public Water System Supervision
Primacy Program. The Government of the Virgin Islands has adopted
drinking water regulations that satisfy the National Primary Drinking
Water Regulations for the Lead and Copper Rule (LCR). USEPA regulations
were promulgated on June 7, 1991 (56 FR 26460). The USEPA has
determined that the Virgin Islands' Lead and Copper regulations are no
less stringent than the corresponding Federal regulations and that the
Virgin Islands continues to meet all requirements for primary
enforcement responsibility as specified in 40 CFR 142.10.
All interested parties, other than Federal Agencies, may request a
public hearing. A request for a public hearing must be submitted to the
USEPA Regional Administrator at the address shown below within thirty
(30) days after the date of this Federal Register Notice. If a
substantial request for a public hearing is made within the required
thirty-day period, a public hearing will be held and a notice will be
given in the Federal Register and a newspaper of general circulation.
Frivolous or insubstantial requests for a hearing may be denied by the
Regional Administrator. If no timely and appropriate request for a
hearing is received and the Regional Administrator does not choose to
hold a hearing on his/her motion, this determination shall become final
and effective thirty (30) days after publication of this Federal
Register Notice.
Any request for a public hearing shall include the following
information:
(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 a brief statement on
information that the requesting person intends to submit at such
hearing;
(3) The signature of the individual making the requests 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.
