Public Water System Supervision Program Revisions for the State
of Hawaii Lead and Copper Rule
AGENCY: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of decision and opportunity for hearing.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the State of Hawaii is revising
its approved State Public Water System Supervision Program. Hawaii has
adopted regulations for controlling lead and copper in drinking water.
The Hawaii State regulations correspond to the National Primary
Drinking Water Regulations promulgated by EPA on June 7, 1991 [56 FR
26460], also known as the Lead and Copper Rule; and correcting
amendments appearing on July 15, 1991 [56 FR 32112]; June 29, 1992 [57
FR 28785]; and June 30, 1994 [59 FR 33860]. EPA has determined that the
State program revisions are no less stringent than the corresponding
federal regulations. Therefore, EPA has tentatively decided to approve
the State program revision.
All interested parties are invited to request a public hearing on
EPA's decision to approve the State program revisions. A request for a
public hearing must be submitted by May 23, 1996, to the Regional
Administrator at the address shown below. 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 elect to hold a hearing on his/her own motion,
this determination shall become effective May 23, 1996.
Any 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; and [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.
ADDRESSES: All documents relating to this determination are available
for inspection between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., Monday
through Friday, at the following offices: Hawaii Department of Health,
