Program Requirement Revisions 

Related to the Public Water System 

Supervision Programs for the 

Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the 

State of Rhode Island and the State of 

Vermont 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that 

the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, 

the State of Rhode Island and the State 

of Vermont are in the process of revising 

their respective approved Public Water 

System Supervision (PWSS) programs to 

meet the requirements of the Safe 

Drinking Water Act (SDWA). 

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts 

has adopted drinking water regulations 

for the Ground Water Rule (71 FR 

65574) promulgated on November 8, 

2006, the Long Term 2 Enhanced 

Surface Water Treatment Rule (71 FR 

654) promulgated on January 5, 2006, 

and the Stage 2 Disinfectant and 

Disinfection Byproducts Rule (71 FR 

388) promulgated on January 4, 2006. 

After review of the submitted 

documentation, the Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) has 

determined that the Commonwealth of 

Massachusetts’ Ground Water Rule, 

Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water 

Treatment Rule, and Stage 2 

Disinfectant and Disinfection 

Byproducts Rule are no less stringent 

than the corresponding federal 

regulations. Therefore, EPA intends to 

approve Massachusetts’ PWSS program 

revision for these rules. 

The State of Rhode Island has adopted 

drinking water regulations for the Lead 

and Copper Rule (56 FR 26460–26564) 

promulgated on June 7, 1991, the Lead 

and Copper Minor Revisions Rule (65 

FR 1950) promulgated on January 12, 

2000, the Lead and Copper Short-Term 

Revisions Rule (72 FR 57782) 

promulgated on October 10, 2007, the 

Ground Water Rule (71 FR 65574) 

promulgated on November 8, 2006, and 

the Stage 2 Disinfectant and 

Disinfection Byproducts Rule (71 FR 

388) promulgated on January 4, 2006. 

After review of the submitted 

documentation, EPA has determined 

that the State of Rhode Island’s Lead 

and Copper Rule, Lead and Copper 

Short-Term Revisions Rule, Lead and 

Copper Minor Revisions Rule, Ground 

Water Rule, and Stage 2 Disinfectant 

and Disinfection Byproducts Rule are no 

less stringent than the corresponding 

federal regulations, with the 

understanding that the state regulations 

include a small number of typographical 

errors or other very minor, nonsubstantive differences that the state has 

agreed to correct. These issues are 

discussed in further detail in EPA’s 

administrative record. Therefore, EPA 

intends to approve Rhode Island’s 

PWSS program revision for these rules. 

The State of Vermont has adopted 

drinking water regulations for the 

Ground Water Rule (71 FR 65574) 

promulgated on November 6, 2008, the 

Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water 

Treatment Rule (71 FR 654) 

promulgated on January 5, 2006, and the 

Stage 2 Disinfectant and Disinfection 

Byproducts Rule (71 FR 388) 

promulgated on January 4, 2006. After 

review of the submitted documentation, 

EPA has determined that the State of 

Vermont’s Ground Water Rule, Long 

Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water 

Treatment Rule, and Stage 2 

Disinfectant and Disinfection 

Byproducts Rule are no less stringent 

than the corresponding federal 

regulations. Therefore, EPA intends to 

approve Vermont’s PWSS program 

revision for these rules. 

DATES: All interested parties may 

request a public hearing for any of the 

above EPA determinations. A request for 

a public hearing must be submitted 

within thirty (30) days of this Federal 

Register publication date to the 

Regional Administrator at the 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 this date, 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/her own motion, this 

determination shall become final and 

effective 30 days after the publication of 

this Federal Register Notice. 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

intends to submit at such hearing; and

responsible official of the organization 

or other entity.
