Samoa has adopted (1) Drinking water regulations for eight volatile organic chemicals that correspond to the National Primary Drinking Water Regulations promulgated by EPA on July 8, 1987 (52 FR 25690) and corrected on July 1, 1988 (53 FR 25108); (2) public notice regulations that correspond to the revised EPA public notice requirements promulgated on October 28, 1987 (53 FR 41534); (3) a revised drinking water regulation for total coliform bacteria which corresponds to the National Primary Drinking Water Regulations promulgated by EPA on June 29, 1989 (54 FR 27544); and (4) a drinking water regulation which requires filtration and disinfection of surface water systems and of ground water systems influenced by surface water which corresponds to the National Primary Drinking Water Regulations promulgated by EPA on June 29, 1989 [54 FR 27486]. EPA has determined that these four sets of state program revisions are no less stringent that the corresponding federal regulations.
