Public Water Supply Supervision Program; Program Revision for the 
State of Washington

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of tentative approval.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the State of Washington has 
revised its approved State Public Water Supply Supervision Primacy 
Program. Washington has adopted a definition for public water system 
that is analogous to EPA's definition of public water system, and has 
adopted regulations analogous to EPA's Consumer Confidence Report Rule, 
Interim Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule, Stage 1 Disinfectants 
and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, Lead and Copper Minor Revisions Rule, 
Public Notification Rule, Radionuclides Rule, Arsenic Rule, Filter 
Backwash Rule, Long Term 1 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule, 
Variance and Exemptions Rule, Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection 
Byproducts Rule, Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule, and 
Ground Water Rule. EPA has determined that these revisions are no less 
stringent than the corresponding Federal regulations. Therefore, EPA 
intends to approve these State program revisions. By approving these 
rules, EPA does not intend to affect the rights of Federally recognized 
Indian Tribes within ``Indian country'' as defined by 18 U.S.C. 1151, 
nor does it intend to limit existing rights of the State of Washington.

DATES: All interested parties may request a public hearing. A request 
for a public hearing must be submitted by February 3, 2011 to the 
Regional Administrator at the EPA address shown below. Frivolous or 
insubstantial requests for a hearing may be denied by the Regional 
Administrator. However, if a substantial request for a public hearing 
is made by February 3, 2011, a public hearing will be held. If no 
timely and appropriate request for a hearing is received and the 
Regional Administrator does not elect to hold a hearing on his own 
motion, this determination shall become final and effective on February 
3, 2011. 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; (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.

ADDRESSES: All documents relating to this determination are available 
for inspection between the hours of 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through 
Friday, at the Washington Department of Health-Office of Drinking 
Water, 243 Israel Road SE., 2nd floor, Tumwater, Washington 98501 and 
between the hours of 9 a.m.-12 p.m. and 1-4 p.m. at the EPA Region 10 
Library, 1200 Sixth Avenue, Seattle, Washington 98101.
