ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

Public Water System Supervision Program Revision for the State of
Michigan
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Public notice is hereby given in accordance with the provision
of Section 1413 of the Safe Drinking Water Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C.
300f et seq., and 40 CFR part 142, subpart B, the National Primary
Drinking Water Regulations (NPDWR), that the State of Michigan is
revising its approved Public Water System Supervision (PWSS) primacy
program. The Michigan Department of Public Health (MDPH) has adopted
drinking water regulations for Lead and Copper, 18 synthetic organic
chemicals (SOCs), and 5 inorganic chemicals (IOCs), that correspond to
the NPDWR for Lead and Copper, SOCs, and IOCs, and promulgated by the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) on June 7, 1991 (56 FR
26460-26564), and on July 17, 1992 (57 FR 31776-31849). TheP USEPA has
completed its review of Michigan's PWSS primacy program revision.
The USEPA has determined that the Michigan rule revisions meet the
requirements of the Federal rule. Therefore, the USEPA has determined
that the State program revisions referenced above are no less stringent
than the corresponding Federal regulations and is proposing to approve
the MDPH's rule revisions.
All interested parties are invited to submit written comments on
these proposed determinations, and may request a public hearing on or
before May 25, 1995. If a public hearing is requested and granted, the
corresponding determination shall not become effective until such time
following the hearing, at which the Regional Administrator issues an
order affirming or rescinding this action. Frivolous or insubstantial
requests for a hearing may be denied by the Regional Administrator.
Requests for public hearing should be addressed to: Jennifer Kurtz
Crooks, (WD-17J), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 5, 77

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.
Notice of any hearing shall be given not less than fifteen (15)

purpose, information regarding the time and location, and the address

or rescinding his determination upon review of the hearing record.
Should the determination be affirmed, it will become effective as of
the date of the order.

1995. Please bring this notice to the attention of any persons known by
