The EPA has completed its review of this revision in accordance with the SDWA and proposes to approve Colorado’s primacy revision for the Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule and the Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule.

Today’s approval action does not extend to public water systems in Indian country as defined in 18 U.S.C. 1151. Please see Supplementary Information, Item B.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  The EPA approved Colorado’s application for assuming primary enforcement authority for the PWSS program, pursuant to Section 1413 of the SDWA, 42 U.S.C. 300g–2, and 40 C.F.R. Part 142. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment administers Colorado’s PWSS program. A. Why are revisions to State programs necessary?

States with primary PWSS enforcement authority must comply with the requirements of 40 C.F.R. Part 142 for maintaining primacy. They must adopt regulations that are at least as stringent as the NPDWRs at 40 CFR Parts 141 and 142, as well as adopt all new and revised NPDWRs in order to retain primacy (40 CFR 142.12(a)). B. How does today’s action affect Indian country (18 U.S.C. 1151) in Colorado?

Colorado is not authorized to carry out its PWSS program in Indian country, as that term is defined at 18 U.S.C. 1151. Indian country includes, but is not limited to, land within the formal Indian Reservations located within or abutting the state of Colorado, including the Southern Ute Indian Reservation and the Ute Mountain Ute Indian Reservation, any land held in trust by the United States for an Indian Tribe, and any other areas which are ‘‘Indian country’’ within the meaning of 18 U.S.C. 1151. C. Requesting a Hearing

Any request for a public hearing shall include: (1) The name, address, and telephone number of the individual, organization, or other entity requesting a hearing; (2) a brief statement of the requester’s interest in the RA’s determination and of information that he/she intends to submit at such hearing; and (3) the signature of the requester or responsible official, if made on behalf of an 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 and will be made by the RA in the Federal Register and in a newspaper of general circulation in the state. A notice will also be sent to both the person(s) requesting the hearing and the state. 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 RA will issue a final determination upon review of the hearing record.

Frivolous or insubstantial requests for a hearing may be denied by the RA. However, if a substantial request is made within thirty (30) days after this notice, a public hearing will be held.

Please bring this notice to the attention of any persons known by you to have an interest in this determination.

Dated: August 13, 2012. James B. Martin, Regional Administrator, Region 8.
