Public Water System Supervision Program Approval for the State of 
Wisconsin

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of tentative approval.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the State of Wisconsin submitted a 
primacy application for its approved Public Water System Supervision 
Program. Wisconsin is applying its Interim Enhanced Surface Water 
Treatment Regulations to all Wisconsin water systems that use surface 
water and ground water under the influence of surface water as a 
source, thereby satisfying the requirements of the Long-Term 1 Enhanced 
Surface Water Treatment Rule.
    EPA has determined that the State regulations and procedures 
submitted by the State to EPA for review are no less stringent than the 
corresponding Federal regulations. Therefore, EPA intends to award 
primacy to Wisconsin for Long-Term 1 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment 
Rule implementation. This approval action does not extend to public 
water systems (PWSs) in Indian Country, as the term is defined in 18 
U.S.C. 1151. By approving these rules, EPA does not intend to affect 
the rights of Federally recognized Indian Tribes in Wisconsin, nor does 
it intend to limit existing rights of the State of Wisconsin. Any 
interested party may request a public hearing. A request for a public 
hearing must be submitted by January 21, 2011, to the Regional 
Administrator at the EPA Region 5 address shown below. The Regional 
Administrator may deny frivolous or insubstantial requests for a 
hearing. However, if a substantial request for a public hearing is made 
by January 21, 2011, EPA Region 5 will hold a public hearing. If EPA 
Region 5 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 January 21, 2011. 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 requesting person intends to submit at such hearing; and 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.

ADDRESSES: All documents relating to this determination are available 
for inspection at the following offices: Wisconsin Department of 
Natural Resources, Bureau of Drinking Water and Groundwater, 5th Floor, 
101 S. Webster Street, Madison, Wisconsin, between the hours of 7:45 
a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, and the United States 
Environmental Protection Agency, Region 5, Ground Water and Drinking
