Texas

AGENCY: United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of tentative approval.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the State of Texas is revising its 
approved Public Water System Supervision Program. Texas has adopted 
three EPA drinking water rules, namely the: (1) Long Term 2 Enhanced 
Surface Water Treatment Rule (LT2), (2) the Stage 2 Disinfectants and 
Disinfection Byproducts Rule (DBP2), and (3) the Public Notification 
Rule minor revisions (PN/MR). EPA has determined that the proposed LT2, 
DBP2, and the PN/MRs submitted by Texas are no less stringent than the

this program revision.

for a public hearing must be submitted by March 11, 2013 to the

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 March 11, 2013, a public hearing will be held. If no 
timely and appropriate request for a hearing is received and the 
Regional Administrator does not elect to hold a hearing on his own 
motion, this determination shall become final and effective on March 
11, 2013. Any request for a public hearing shall include the following 
information: The name, address, and telephone number of the individual, 
organization, or other entity requesting a hearing; a brief statement 
of the requesting person's interest in the Regional Administrator's 
determination and a brief statement of the information that the 
requesting person intends to submit at such hearing; and 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.
