of Puerto Rico

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico is 
revising its approved Public Water System Supervision Primacy Program. 
The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico has adopted drinking water regulations 
that satisfy the National Primary 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 Puerto Rico Lead 
and Copper regulations are no less stringent than the corresponding 
Federal regulations and that Puerto Rico continues to meet all 
requirements for primary enforcement responsibility as specified in 40 
CFR 142.10.

    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 after the date of this Federal Register Notice. If a 
substantial request for a public hearing is made within the required 
thirty-day period, a public hearing will be held and a notice 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 choose to 
hold a hearing on his/her motion, this determination shall become final 
and effective thirty (30) days after publication of this Federal 
Register Notice.
    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 [[Page 12554]] Administrator's determination and a brief 
statement on information that the requesting person intends to submit 
at such hearing;
    (3) The signature of the individual making the requests 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.
