Tentative Approval and Solicitation of Request for a Public 
Hearing for Public Water System Supervision Program Revision for the 
Commonwealth of Virginia

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of tentative approval and solicitation of requests for a 
public hearing.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given in accordance with the provision of 
section 1413 of the Safe Drinking Water Act, as amended, and the 
requirements governing the National Primary Drinking Water Regulations 
Implementation, 40 CFR part 142, that the Commonwealth of Virginia is 
revising its approved Public Water System Supervision Program. The 
Commonwealth has adopted the Lead and Copper Rule Short Term Revisions 
which will provide for better public health protection by reducing 
potential reproductive and developmental health risks from lead. The 
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has determined that these 
revisions are no less stringent than the corresponding Federal 
regulations. EPA is taking action to tentatively approve these program 
revisions. All interested parties are invited to submit written 
comments on this determination and may request a public hearing.

DATES: Comments or a request for a public hearing must be submitted by 
February 6, 2015. This determination shall become effective on February 
6, 2015 if no timely and appropriate request for a hearing is received 
and the Regional Administrator does not elect on his own to hold a 
hearing, and if no comments are received which cause EPA to modify its 
tentative approval.

ADDRESSES: Comments or a request for a public hearing must be submitted 
to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region III, 1650 Arch 
Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103-2029. Comments may also be submitted 
electronically to Rizzo.George@epa.gov. All documents relating to this 
determination are available for inspection between the hours of 8 a.m.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: All interested parties are invited to submit 
written comments on this determination and may request a public 
hearing. All comments will be considered; if necessary, EPA will issue 
a response. 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 February 6, 2015, a public hearing will 
be held. A request for 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 a 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.
