Program Revision for the State of 

Oklahoma 

AGENCY: United States Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of proposed approval. 

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that 

the State of Oklahoma is revising its 

approved Public Water System 

Supervision Program adopting new 

regulations for the Lead and Copper 

Rule (LCR) Short-Term Regulatory 

Revisions and Clarifications, 

promulgated and published in the 

Federal Register at 72 FR 57782 on 

October 10, 2007. Oklahoma has 

adopted the LCR Short-Term Regulatory 

Revisions and Clarifications to 

strengthen the implementation of the 

LCR for more effective protection of 

public health by reducing exposure to 

lead in drinking water. EPA has 

determined that the proposed program 

revision submitted by Oklahoma for the 

LCR Short-Term Regulatory Revisions 

and Clarifications are no less stringent 

than the corresponding Federal 

regulations. Therefore, EPA proposes to 

approve these program revisions.
