Public Water System Supervision 

Program Variance and Exemption 

Review for the State of North Dakota 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of Results Review. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) Region 8 has completed 

its statutory review of variances and 

exemptions issued by the State of North 

Dakota under the Safe Drinking Water 

Act (SDWA), Public Water System 

Supervision (PWSS) program. This 

review was announced in the Federal 

Register published March 12, 2008 (73 

FR 13229–01). The Federal Register 

provided the public with an opportunity 

to comment. EPA Region 8 received no 

comments related to variances and/or 

exemptions issued or proposed by the 

State of North Dakota. 

EPA Region 8 determined as a result 

of this review that the State of North 

Dakota did not abuse its discretion on 

any variance or exemption granted or 

proposed as of the date of its on-site 

review on March 31, 2008. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Breann Bockstahler at 303–312–6034 or 

e-mail at Bockstahler.Breann@epa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: North 

Dakota has an EPA approved program 

for primary enforcement authority for 

the PWSS program, pursuant to section 

1413 of SDWA, 42 U.S.C. 300g–2 and 40 

CFR part 142.

Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 159 / Friday, August 15, 2008 / Notices 47951 

A. Why Do States Issue Variances and 

Exemptions? 

States with primary PWSS 

enforcement authority are authorized to 

grant variances and exemptions from 

the National Primary Drinking Water 

Regulations to specific public water 

systems provided these variances and 

exemptions meet the requirements of 

SDWA sections 1415 and 1416 and are 

protective of public health, 42 U.S.C. 

300g–4 and 300g–5. 

B. Why Is a Review of Variances and 

Exemptions Necessary? 

The SDWA requires that EPA 

periodically review State-issued 

variances and exemptions to determine 

whether the State has abused its 

discretion in a substantial number of 

cases and to publish the results of that 

review in the Federal Register, 42 

U.S.C. 300g–4(a)(1)(F), 42 U.S.C. 300g–

5(d).
