Records Governing Off-the-Record 

Communications 

Public Notice 

This constitutes notice, in accordance 

with 18 CFR 385.2201(b), of the receipt 

of prohibited and exempt off-the-record 

communications. 

Order No. 607 (64 FR 51222, 

September 22, 1999) requires 

Commission decisional employees, who 

make or receive a prohibited or exempt 

off-the-record communication relevant 

to the merits of a contested proceeding, 

to deliver to the Secretary of the 

Commission, a copy of the 

communication, if written, or a 

summary of the substance of any oral 

communication. 

Prohibited communications are 

included in a public, non-decisional file 

associated with, but not a part of, the 

decisional record of the proceeding. 

Unless the Commission determines that 

the prohibited communication and any 

responses thereto should become a part 

of the decisional record, the prohibited 

off-the-record communication will not 

be considered by the Commission in 

reaching its decision. Parties to a 

proceeding may seek the opportunity to 

respond to any facts or contentions 

made in a prohibited off-the-record 

communication, and may request that 

the Commission place the prohibited 

communication and responses thereto 

in the decisional record. The 

Commission will grant such a request 

only when it determines that fairness so 

requires. Any person identified below as 

having made a prohibited off-the-record 

communication shall serve the 

document on all parties listed on the 

official service list for the applicable 

proceeding in accordance with Rule 

2010, 18 CFR 385.2010. 

Exempt off-the-record 

communications are included in the 

decisional record of the proceeding, 

unless the communication was with a 

cooperating agency as described by 40 

CFR 1501.6, made under 18 CFR 

385.2201(e)(1)(v). 

The following is a list of off-therecord communications recently

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION 

AGENCY 

[FRL– 9647–9] 

Public Water System Supervision 

Program Approval for the State of 

Minnesota 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of tentative approval. 

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that 

the State of Minnesota is revising its 

approved public water system 

supervision program for four major 

rules. EPA has determined that these 

revisions are no less stringent than the 

corresponding Federal regulations. 

Therefore, EPA intends to approve these 

revisions. This approval action does not 

extend to public water systems in 

Indian Country, as the term is defined 

in 18 U.S.C. 1151. By approving these 

rules, EPA does not intend to affect the 

rights of federally recognized Indian 

Tribes in Minnesota, nor does it intend 

to limit existing rights of the State of 

Minnesota. 

Any interested person may request a 

public hearing. A request for a public 

hearing must be submitted to the 

Regional Administrator at the address 

shown below by April 16, 2012. If a 

substantial request for a public hearing 

is made within the requested time 

frame, a public hearing will be held and 

a notice of such hearing will be given 

in the Federal Register and a newspaper 

of general circulation. Frivolous or 

insubstantial requests for a hearing may 

be denied by the Regional 

Administrator. If no timely and 

appropriate request for a hearing is 

received and the Regional Administrator 

does not elect to hold a hearing on her 

own motion, this determination shall 

become final and effective on April 16, 

2012. Any request for a public hearing 

shall include the following information: 

The name, address, and telephone 

number of the individual, organization, 

or other entity requesting a hearing; 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; and 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 at the following offices: 

Minnesota Department of Health, 625 

North Robert Street, P.O. Box 64975, St. 

Paul, Minnesota, 55164–0975, and/or

Agency, Region 5, Ground Water and
