Public Water System Supervision Program Revision for the State of 
South Carolina

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the State of South Carolina is 
revising its approved Public Water System Supervision Program. South 
Carolina has adopted drinking water regulations establishing 
administrative penalty authority and defining a public water system. 
EPA has determined that the administrative penalty authority revisions 
meet all minimum federal requirements, and that the public water system 
definition revisions are no less stringent than the corresponding 
federal regulations. Therefore, EPA has tentatively decided to approve 
these State program revisions.
    All interested parties may request a public hearing. A request for 
a public hearing must be submitted by May 29, 2001 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 May 
29, 2001, 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 May 29, 2001. 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 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.
