Public Water System Supervision Program Revision for the State of 
Colorado

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Public notice is hereby given in accordance with the 
provisions of section 1413 the Safe Drinking Water Act as amended, 42 
U.S.C. 300g-2, and 40 CFR Part 142, Subpart B-Primary Enforcement 
Responsibility, that the State of Colorado has revised its Public Water 
System Supervision (PWSS) Primacy Program. Colorado's PWSS program, 
administered by the Drinking Water Section of the Colorado Department 
of Public Health and Environment, has adopted regulations for surface 
water treatment, Phase II (7 inorganic and 26 organic chemicals), Phase 
IIb (1 inorganic and 4 organic chemicals), Phase V (5 inorganic and 18 
organic chemicals), and lead and copper that correspond to the National 
Primary Drinking Water Regulations (NPDWR) in 40 CFR Part 141 for 
surface water treatment (54 FR 27486-27541 published on June 29, 1989), 
Phase II 56 FR 3526-3597 published on January 30, 1991), Phase IIb (56 
FR 30266-30281 published on July 1, 1991), Phase V (Federal Register 
Vol. 57, No. 138, July 17, 1992, Pg. 31776-31849), and lead and copper 
(56 FR 26460-26564 published on June 7, 1991). The Environmental 
Protection Agency (EPA) has completed its review of Colorado's primacy 
revisions and has determined that they are no less stringent than the 
NPDWRs. EPA therefore approves Colorado's primacy revisions for Surface 
Water Treatment, Phase II, IIb, V, and Lead and Copper Rules. This 
determination shall become effective May 24, 1995.
    Any interested parties are invited to submit written comments on 
this determination, and may request a public hearing on or before May 
24, 1995. If a public hearing is requested and granted, this 
determination shall not become effective until such time following the 
hearing that the Regional Administrator issues an order affirming or 
rescinding this action.
    Requests for a public hearing should be addressed to: William P. 
Yellowtail, Regional Administrator, c/o Marty Swickard (8WM-DW), U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency, Region VIII, 999 18th Street, Suite 
500, Denver, CO 80202-2466.
    Frivolous or insubstantial requests for a hearing may be denied by 
the Regional Administrator. However, if a substantial request is made 
within thirty (30) days after this notice, a public hearing will be 
held.
    Any request for a public hearing shall include the following: (1) 
The name, address, and telephone number of the individual,

individual making the request, or, if the request is made on behalf of 
an organization or other entity, the signature of the responsible 
official of the organization or other entity.
    Notice of any hearing shall be given not less than fifteen (15) 
days prior to the time scheduled for the hearing. Such notice will be 
made by the Regional Administrator in the Federal Register 
[[Page 20090]] and in newspapers of general circulation in the State of 
Colorado. A notice will also be sent to the person(s) requesting the 
hearing as well as to the State of Colorado. The hearing notice will 
include a statement of purpose, information regarding time and 
location, and the address and telephone number where interested persons 
may obtain further information. The Regional Administrator will issue 
an order affirming or rescinding his determination upon review of the 
hearing record. Should the determination be affirmed, it will become 
effective as of the date of the order.
    Should no timely and appropriate request for a hearing be received, 
and the Regional Administrator does not elect to hold a hearing on his 
own motion, this determination shall become effective on May 24, 1995. 
Please bring this notice to the attention of any persons known by you 
to have an interest in this determination.
