Public Water Supervision Program: Program Revision for the State 
of Maine

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the State of Maine is revising 
it's approved State Public Water Supervision Primacy Program. Maine has 
adopted drinking water regulations for: (1) total coliforms (including 
fecal coliforms and E. Coli) that correspond to the National Primary 
Drinking Water Regulations for total coliforms (including fecal 
coliforms and E. Coli) promulgated by EPA on June 29, 1989 (54 FR 
27544) and (2) for filtration, disinfection, turbidity, Giardia 
lamblia, viruses, Legionella, and heterotrophic bacteria that 
correspond to the National Primary Drinking Water Regulations for 
filtration, disinfection, turbidity, Giardia lamblia, viruses, 
Legionella, and heterotrophic bacteria requirements promulgated on June 
29, 1989 (54 FR 27486). 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 
August 1, 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 August 1, 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 August 1, 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 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday 
through Friday, at the following offices:
