Public Water System Supervision Program: EPA Tentatively Approves
Program Revisions Corresponding to the National Primary Drinking Water
Regulations for Lead and Copper for the State of Nebraska
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the State of Nebraska is revising
its approved State Public Water System Supervision (PWSS) Program.
Nebraska has adopted regulations for the Lead and Copper Rule that
correspond to the National Primary Drinking Water Regulations for the
Lead and Copper Rule published by the EPA on June 7, 1991 (56 FR
26460).
EPA has determined that these State program revisions are no less
stringent than the corresponding Federal regulation. This determination
was based upon a thorough evaluation of Nebraska's PWSS program in
accordance with the requirements stated in 40 CFR 142.10. 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 to the Regional
Administrator, within thirty (30) days of the date of this Notice, at
the address shown below. If a public hearing is requested and granted,
this determination shall not become effective until such time following
the hearing that the Regional Administrator issues an order affirming
or rescinding this action. 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 thirty (30) days from this Notice date.
Insubstantial requests for a hearing may be denied by the Regional
Administrator. However, if a substantial request is made within thirty
(30) days after this notice, a public hearing will be held.
Requests for a public hearing should be addressed to: Ralph
Langemeier, Chief; Drinking Water Branch; U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency, Region VII; 726 Minnesota Avenue; Kansas City, Kansas 66101-
2798.
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.
Notice of any hearing shall be given not less than fifteen (15)
days prior to the time scheduled for the hearing. Such notice will be
made by the Regional Administrator in the Federal Register and in
newspapers of general circulation in the State of Nebraska. A notice
will also be sent to the person(s) requesting the hearing as well as to
the State of Nebraska. The hearing notice will include a statement of
purpose, information regarding time and location, and the address and
telephone number where interested persons may obtain further
information. The Regional Administrator will issue an order affirming
or rescinding his determination based upon review of the hearing
record. Should the determination be affirmed, it will become effective
as of the date of the order.
