SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The draft

Health Assessment Document for Diesel

Emissions summarizes scientific issues

and identifies research activities and

assessments needed to improve the

scientific understanding and

quantitative estimation of the health

risks attendant to the use of diesel fuels.

In its initial form, the draft health

assessment was first reviewed at an

expert peer-review workshop in July

1990 (55 FR 28453), which was open to

the public. The present draft

incorporates revisions made in response

to scientific input from the workshop

and subsequent comments on targeted

issues. After the public comment period

and review by EPA’s Science Advisory

Board (SAB), Clean Air Scientific

Advisory Committee (CASAC), the

current draft document will undergo

further revision, and a final document

will be issued. This document will

support EPA’s decision-making

processes that pertain to the health

effects of diesel emissions.

Dated: February 9, 1995.

Joseph K. Alexander,

Acting Assistant Administrator for Research

and Development.

Public Water System Supervision

Program Revision for the State of New

York

AGENCY: United States Environmental

Protection Agency (USEPA).

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that

the State of New York is revising its

approved Public Water System

Supervision Primary Program. The State

of New York has adopted drinking water

regulations that satisfy the National

Primacy Drinking Water Regulations for

the Lead and Copper Rule (LCR).

USEPA regulations were promulgated

on June 7, 1991 (56 FR 26460). The

USEPA has determined that New York’s

Lead and Copper regulations are no less

stringent than the corresponding

Federal regulations and that New York

continues to meet all requirements for

primary enforcement responsibility as

specified in 40 CFR 142.10. EPA’s

determination to approve the State of

New York’s revision to its Public Water

Supervision Program for compliance

with EPA’s Lead and Copper Rule is

conditional upon New York’s State

making certain minor changes, no later

than January 1, 1996, to the State

Sanitary Code and Environmental

Health Manual. The changes required,

which New York State has agreed to

make, include the following:

1. The State must either delete the

word ‘‘economics’’ in Sections 5–1.46

and 5–1.47 of the State Sanitary Code or

clarify, in the Code, that economics will

only be considered in selecting

corrosion control treatment when two

methods are equally effective.

2. The State must change Section 5–

1.43 of the code to read as follows:

(e) Distribution Monitoring. All large

water systems shall monitor for water

quality parameters in Section 5–1.45 (c)

in each initial six month monitoring

period they monitor for the first draw

lead and copper tap samples. All small

and medium water systems shall

monitor for water quality parameters in

Section 5–1.45 (c) during the six month

monitoring period which the water

system exceeds the copper or lead

action level. After a water system

installs optimal corrosion control

treatment the water system shall

monitor for water quality parameters for

two consecutive six month monitoring

periods. After the State specifies water

quality parameters samples for optimal

corrosion control treatment, all water

systems shall monitor for water quality

parameters at the frequencies stated in

5–1.43 (a) for two consecutive six month

monitoring periods.

A new paragraph Subpart 5–1.43 (d)

must be added as follows:

(d) After State specification of

minimum values or ranges for water

quality parameters for optimal corrosion

control treatment, water systems shall

maintain water quality parameter

values at or above specified minimum

values or within ranges specified by the

State. If the water quality parameters

value of any sample is below the

minimum value or outside the range

specified by the State, the water system

is out of compliance with the State

Sanitary Code.

The italic words are revisions to the

Code.

3. The State must change their

definition of ‘‘action level’’ in Section

5–1.41(a) of the State Sanitary Code to

be consistent with the language of the

Federal definition of ‘‘action level’’ in

40 CFR 141.2.

4. Section (G)(1) of PWS Item No. 51

of the New York State Environmental

Health Manual, dated March 31, 1993,

which contains procedures for making

corrosion control treatment

determinations must be changed to

ensure the State establishes a range of

values for pH at entry points to the

distribution system and ‘‘at taps

throughout the distribution system’’.

5. Section (E)(5) of PWS Item No. 52

of the Environmental Health Manual,

which contains procedures for making

lead service line replacement decisions,

must be amended by striking the phrase

‘‘less than 16 ug/L’’ and replacing it

with the requirement in 40 CFR

141.84(c), which reads, ‘‘less than or

equal to 0.015 mg/L.’’

6. Section 5–1.40 (a)(1) of the State

Sanitary Code must be changed by

replacing the phrase ‘‘3,300 people or

less’’ with the phrase ‘‘50,000 people or

less’’.

7. The State must adopt as part of the

State Sanitary Code the analytical

methods contained in 40 CFR 141.89 of

the federal rule.

8. The State must amend the first

paragraph in Section 5–1.47 of the State

Sanitary Code to include the phrase

‘‘within 6 months of exceeding the lead

or copper action level’’.

All interested parties, other than

Federal Agencies, may request a public

hearing. A request for a public hearing

must be submitted to the USEPA

Regional Administrator at the address

shown below within thirty (30) days

Notice. If a substantial request for a
