Public Water Supervision Program: Program Revisions for the State 
of Vermont

AGENCY: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the State of Vermont is revising 
it's approved State Public Water Supervision Primacy Program. Vermont 
has adopted (4) drinking water regulations for: (1) Filtration, 
disinfection, turbidity, Giardia lamblia, viruses, Legionella, and 
heterotrophic bacteria; (2) public notice requirements; (3) total 
coliforms (including fecal coliforms and E. Coli); and (4) controlling 
lead and copper in drinking water requirements that correspond to the 
National Primary Drinking Water Regulations for: (1) Filtration, 
disinfection, turbidity, Giardia lamblia, viruses, Legionella, and 
heterotrophic bacteria requirements promulgated by EPA on June 29, 1989 
(54 FR 27486); (2) public notice requirements promulgated by EPA on 
October 8, 1987 (52 FR 41534); (3) total coliforms (including fecal 
coliforms and E. Coli) promulgated by EPA on June 29, 1989 (54 FR 
27544); and (4) controlling lead and copper in drinking water 
requirements promulgated by EPA on June 7, 1991 (56 FR 26460). EPA has 
determined that the State program revisions are no less stringent than 
the corresponding Federal regulations. Therefore, EPA has tentatively 
decided to approve these State program revisions. All interested 
parties are invited to request a public hearing. A request for a public 
hearing must be submitted by May 31, 1994 to the Regional Administrator 
at the address shown below. 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 May 31, 1994, 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 
effective May 31, 1994.
    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 intended to submit at such hearing.
    (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 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday through 
Friday, at the following offices:

Conservation, 103 South Main Street, Waterbury, VT 05676.
