Public Water Supply Supervision Program; Program Revision for the
State of Alaska
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of tentative approval.
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the State of Alaska has revised its approved State Public Water Supply Supervision Primacy Program.
Alaska has adopted regulations analogous to EPA's Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule; Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water
Treatment Rule; and Lead and Copper Short-Term Regulatory Revisions and
Clarifications Rule. EPA has determined that these revisions are no less stringent than the corresponding Federal regulations. Therefore,
EPA intends to approve these State program revisions. By approving these rules, EPA does not intend to affect the rights of Federally recognized Indian Tribes within ``Indian country'' as defined by 18
U.S.C. 1151, nor does it intend to limit existing rights of the State of Alaska.
DATES: All interested parties may request a public hearing. A request for a public hearing must be submitted by February 28, 2011 to the
Regional Administrator at the EPA 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, 2011, 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 final and effective on February 28, 2011. 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 of the 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.
