A. Why are revisions to state programs 

necessary? 

States with primary PWSS 

enforcement authority must comply 

with the requirements of 40 CFR 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)). On 

October 10, 2007, EPA promulgated the 

Lead and Copper Rule Short Term 

Regulatory Revisions and, by this 

action, the State is following procedures 

to attain primacy. 

B. How does today’s action affect 

Indian country in Montana? 

Montana is not authorized to carry out 

its PWSS Program in ‘‘Indian country.’’ 

This includes, but is not limited to, land 

within the formal Indian Reservations 

within or abutting the State of Montana, 

including the Blackfeet, Crow, Flathead, 

Fort Belknap, Fort Peck, Northern 

Cheyenne and Rocky Boy’s Indian 

Reservations, 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.

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

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

the time scheduled for the hearing and 

will be made by the RA in the Federal 

Register and newspapers 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.

attention of any persons known by you 

to have an interest in this 

determination.
