Texas

AGENCY: United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of tentative approval.

Surface Water Treatment Rule (LT2), (2) the Stage 2 Disinfectants and 
Disinfection Byproducts Rule (DBP2), and (3) the Public Notification 
Rule minor revisions (PN/MR). EPA has determined that the proposed LT2, 
DBP2, and the PN/MRs submitted by Texas are no less stringent than the

this program revision.

Frivolous or insubstantial requests for a hearing may be denied by the

motion, this determination shall become final and effective on March 
11, 2013. Any request for a public hearing shall include the following 
information: The name, address, and telephone number of the individual, 
organization, or other entity requesting a hearing; a brief statement 
of the requesting person's interest in the Regional Administrator's 
determination and a brief statement of the information that the

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.
