Public Water System Supervision
Program Revision for the State of
Arizona
AGENCY
: Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION
: Notice of tentative approval.
SUMMARY
: Notice is hereby given that
the State of Arizona revised its
approved Public Water System
Supervision (PWSS) Program under the
federal Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA)
by adopting the Lead and Copper Rule
(LCR), LCR Minor Revisions (LCR–MR)
and LCR Short-Term Revisions (LCR–
STR). The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) has determined that these
revisions are no less stringent than the
corresponding Federal regulations and
otherwise meet applicable SDWA
primacy requirements. Therefore, EPA
intends to approve the stated revisions
to the State’s PWSS Program.
DATES

must be received on or before April 12,
2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
:
Background. The EPA approved the
State of Arizona’s initial application for
PWSS Program primary enforcement
authority (‘‘primacy’’), which became
effective on August 25, 1978 (43 FR
38083). States with primacy must adopt
and submit for EPA approval all new
and revised national primary drinking
water regulations. Since initial
approval, EPA has approved various
revisions to Arizona’s PWSS Program.
For the revisions covered by this action,
the EPA promulgated the Lead and
Copper Rule (LCR) on June 7, 1991 (56
FR 26460). EPA modified this rule with
technical amendments that were
published in the Federal Register on
July 15, 1991 (56 FR 32113), June 29,
1992 (57 FR 28786), and June 30, 1994
(59 FR 33860). The EPA proposed the
LCR–MR on April 12, 1996 (60 FR
16348) and finalized the LCR–MR on
January 12, 2000 (65 FR 1949). The EPA
proposed the LCR–STR on July 18, 2006
(71 FR 40828) and published the final
LCR–STR on October 10, 2007 (72 FR
57782). EPA has determined that the
LCR, LCR–MR and LCR–STR
requirements were incorporated by
reference into the Arizona
Administrative Code (AAC) Title 18,
Chapter 4, Article 1 and AAC Title 9,
Chapter 14, Article 1, in a manner that
Arizona’s regulations are comparable to
and no less stringent than federal
requirements for these programs.
Therefore, EPA intends to approve these
revisions as part of the State’s PWSS
Program.
Public Process. Any interested party
may request a public hearing on this
determination. A request for a public
hearing must be received or postmarked
by April 12, 2021, and addressed to the
Regional Administrator at the EPA
Region 9 via the following email
address: R9dw-program@epa.gov. The
Regional Administrator may deny
frivolous or insubstantial requests for a
hearing. If a substantial request for a
public hearing is made by April 12,
2021, EPA Region 9 will hold a public
hearing. 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; 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.
If EPA Region 9 does not receive a
timely and appropriate request for a
hearing and the Regional Administrator
does not elect to hold a hearing on his
own motion, this determination shall
become final and effective on April 12,
2021, and no further public notice will
be issued.
Authority: Section 1413 of the Safe
Drinking Water Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C.
