charged with developing 

recommendations regarding the 

agency’s 2016 STAA. (for more 

information, see http://

2018?OpenDocument. 

The STAA awards are established to 

honor and recognize EPA employees 

who have made outstanding 

contributions in the advancement of 

science and technology through their 

research and development activities, as 

exhibited in publication of their results 

in peer reviewed journals. I have 

determined that the Chartered SAB 

quality review teleconference will be 

closed to the public because it is 

concerned with recommending 

employees deserving of awards. In 

making these draft recommendations, 

the EPA requires full and frank advice 

from the SAB. This advice will involve 

professional judgments on the relative 

merits of various employees and their 

respective work. Such personnel matters 

involve the discussion of information 

that is of a personal nature, the 

disclosure of which would be a clearly 

unwarranted invasion of personal 

privacy and, therefore, is protected from 

disclosure by section (c)(6) of the 

Government in the Sunshine Act, 5 

U.S.C. 552b(c)(6). Minutes of the 

Chartered SAB teleconference will be 

certified by the chair and retained in the 

public record. 

Dated: September 7, 2016. 

Gina McCarthy, 

Administrator.

Public Water System Supervision 

Program Revision for the State of New 

Mexico 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of tentative approval. 

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that 

the State of New Mexico is revising its 

approved Public Water System 

Supervision (PWSS) program. New 

Mexico has adopted the Revised Total 

Coliform Rule (RTCR) by reference 

under 20.7.10.100 of the New Mexico 

Administrative Code and Regulations 

Pertaining to Public Water Systems. EPA 

has determined that the RTCR primacy 

application submitted by New Mexico is 

no less stringent than the corresponding 

federal regulations. Therefore, EPA 

intends to approve this PWSS program 

revision package. 

DATES: All interested parties may 

request a public hearing. A request for 

a public hearing must be submitted by 

October 17, 2016 to the Regional

insubstantial requests for a hearing may 

be denied by the Regional 

Administrator. However, if a substantial 

request for a public hearing is made by 

October 17, 2016, 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 October 17, 2016. Any 

request for a public hearing shall
