Public Water System Supervision Program Revision for the State of 
Illinois

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given in accordance with the provision of 
section 1413 of the Safe Drinking Water Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 300f 
et seq., and 40 CFR part 142, subpart B, the National Primary Drinking 
Water Regulations (NPDWR), that the State of Illinois is revising its 
approved Public Water System Supervision (PWSS) primacy program. The 
Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) has adopted drinking 
water regulations for Lead and Copper, 44 synthetic organic chemicals 
(SOCs), 12 inorganic chemicals (IOCs), and 8 volatile organic chemicals 
(VOCs) that correspond to the NPDWR for Lead and Copper, SOCs, IOCs, 
and VOCs, and promulgated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 
(USEPA) on June 7, 1991 (56 FR 26460-26564), on January 30, 1991 (56 FR 
3526-3597), as amended on July 1, 1991 (56 FR 30266-30281), and on July 
17, 1992 (57 FR 31776-31849). The USEPA has completed its review of 
Illinois' PWSS primacy program revision and has determined that these 
sets of state program revisions are not less stringent than the 
corresponding Federal regulations.
    The USEPA has determined that the Illinois rule revisions meet the 
requirements of the Federal rule. Therefore, the USEPA has determined 
that these sets of state program revisions are no less stringent than 
the corresponding Federal regulations and is proposing to approve the 
IEPA's rule revisions.
    All interested parties are invited to submit written comments on 
these proposed determinations, and may request a public hearing on or 
before September 12, 1994. If a public hearing is requested and 
granted, the corresponding determination shall not become effective 
until such time following the hearing, at which the Regional 
Administrator issues an order affirming or rescinding this action. 
Frivolous or insubstantial requests for a hearing may be denied by the 
Regional Administrator.
    Requests for public hearing should be addressed to: Rosemarie 
Karas, (WD-17J), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 5, 77 
West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604.
    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 determinations and of information that the requesting 
person intends 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.
    Notice of any hearing shall be given not less than fifteen (15) 
days prior to the time scheduled for the hearing. Such notice will be 
made by the Regional Administrator in the Federal Register and in 
newspapers of general circulation in the State of Illinois. A notice 
will be sent to the person(s) requesting the hearing as well as to the 
State of Illinois. The hearing notice will include a statement of 
purpose, information regarding the time and location, and the address 
and telephone number where interested persons may obtain further 
information. The Regional Administrator will issue an order affirming 
or rescinding his determination upon review of the hearing record. 
Should the determination be affirmed, it will become effective as of 
the date of the order.
    Should no timely and appropriate request for a hearing be received, 
and should the Regional Administrator not elect to hold a hearing on 
his own motion, these determinations shall become effective on 
September 12, 1994. Please bring this notice to the attention of any 
persons known by you to have an interest in these determinations.
    All documents related to these determinations are available for 
inspection between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through
