Public Water System Supervision Program Revisions for the State 
of Nevada; Lead and Copper Rule

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of decision and opportunity for hearing.

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the State of Nevada is revising 
its approved State Public Water System

[[Page 29749]]

Supervision Program. Nevada has adopted regulations for controlling 
lead and copper in drinking water. The Nevada State regulations 
correspond to the National Primary Drinking Water Regulations 
promulgated by EPA on June 7, 1991 (56 FR 26460), also known as the 
Lead and Copper Rule; and correcting amendments appearing on July 15, 
1991 (56 FR 32112); June 29, 1992 (57 FR 28785); and June 30, 1994 (59 
FR 33860). EPA has determined that the State program revisions are no 
less stringent than the corresponding federal regulations. Therefore, 
EPA has tentatively decided to approve the State program revision.
    All interested parties are invited to request a public hearing on 
EPA's decision to approve the State program revisions. A request for a 
public hearing must be submitted by July 12, 1996 to the Regional 
Administrator at the address shown below. 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 elect to hold a hearing on his/her own motion, 
this determination shall become effective July 12, 1996.
    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 
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; and (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.

ADDRESSES: All documents relating to this determination are available 
for inspection between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., Monday
