Public Water System Supervision Program Revision for the State of 
Michigan

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Public notice is hereby given in accordance with the provision 
of Section 1413 of the Safe Drinking Water Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 
300f et seq., and 40 CFR part 142, subpart B, the National Primary 
Drinking Water Regulations (NPDWR), that the State of Michigan is 
revising its approved Public Water System Supervision (PWSS) primacy 
program. The Michigan Department of Public Health (MDPH) has adopted 
drinking water regulations for Lead and Copper, 18 synthetic organic 
chemicals (SOCs), and 5 inorganic chemicals (IOCs), that correspond to 
the NPDWR for Lead and Copper, SOCs, and IOCs, and promulgated by the 
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) on June 7, 1991 (56 FR 
26460-26564), and on July 17, 1992 (57 FR 31776-31849). TheP USEPA has 
completed its review of Michigan's PWSS primacy program revision.
    The USEPA has determined that the Michigan rule revisions meet the 
requirements of the Federal rule. Therefore, the USEPA has determined 
that the State program revisions referenced above are no less stringent 
than the corresponding Federal regulations and is proposing to approve 
the MDPH's rule revisions.
    All interested parties are invited to submit written comments on 
these proposed determinations, and may request a public hearing on or 
before May 25, 1995. If a public hearing is requested and granted, the 
corresponding determination shall not become effective until such time 
following the hearing, at which the Regional Administrator issues an 
order affirming or rescinding this action. Frivolous or insubstantial 
requests for a hearing may be denied by the Regional Administrator.
    Requests for public hearing should be addressed to: Jennifer Kurtz 
Crooks, (WD-17J), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 5, 77 
West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604.
    Any request for a public hearing shall include the following: (1) 
The name, address, and telephone number of the individual, 
organization, or other entity requesting a hearing. (2) A brief

Regional Administrator's determinations and of 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.
    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 and in 
newspapers of general circulation in the State of Michigan. A notice 
will be sent to the person(s) requesting the hearing as well as to the 
State of Michigan. The hearing notice will include a statement of 
purpose, information regarding the 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 should the Regional Administrator not elect to hold a hearing on 
his own motion, these determinations shall become effective on May 25, 
1995. Please bring this notice to the attention of any persons known by 
you to have an interest in these determinations.
