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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of tentative approval.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the State of Oregon has revised 
its approved State Public Water Supply Supervision Primacy Program. 
Oregon has adopted regulations analogous to EPA's Stage 2 Disinfectants 
and Disinfection Byproducts Rule; Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water 
Treatment Rule; Ground Water Rule; and Lead and Copper Short-Term 
Regulatory Revisions and Clarifications Rule and has adopted revisions 
to their Variance regulation. 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 Oregon.

DATES: All interested parties may request a public hearing. A request 
for a public hearing must be submitted by August 19, 2013 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 August 19, 2013, 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 August 19, 2013. 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 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., Monday 
through Friday, at the Oregon Health Authority, Drinking Water Program, 
800 N.E. Oregon Street, Suite 640, Portland, Oregon 97232 and between 
the hours of 9:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. and 1:00-4:00 p.m. at the EPA Region 
10 Library, 1200 Sixth Avenue, Seattle, Washington 98101.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Wendy Marshall, EPA Region 10, 
Drinking Water Unit, by mail at the Seattle address given above, by 
telephone at (206) 553-1890, or by email at marshall.wendy@epa.gov.

    Authority: Section 1413 of the Safe Drinking Water Act, as 
amended (1996), and 40 CFR Part 142 of the National Primary Drinking 
Water Regulations.

    Dated: June 27, 2013.
Dennis J. McLerran,
