Public Water System Supervision Program Revision for the State of 
North Dakota

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Public notice is hereby given in accordance with the 
provisions of section 1413 of the Safe Drinking Water Act as amended, 
42 U.S.C. 300g-2, and 40 CFR part 142, Subpart B-Primary Enforcement 
Responsibility, that the State of North Dakota has revised its Public 
Water System Supervision (PWSS) Primacy Program. North Dakota's PWSS 
program, administered by the North Dakota Division of Municipal 
Facilities, has adopted regulations for Phase II (7 inorganic and 26 
organic chemicals), Phase IIb (1 inorganic and 4 organic chemicals), 
and Phase V (5 inorganic and 18 organic chemicals) that correspond to 
the National Primary Drinking Water Regulations (NPDWR) in 40 CFR part 
141 for Phase II (Federal Register Vol. 56, No. 20, January 30, 1991, 
Pg. 3526-3597), Phase IIb (Federal Register Vol. 56, No. 126, July 1, 
1991, Pg. 30266-30281), and Phase V (Federal Register Vol. 57, No. 138, 
July 17, 1992, Pg. 31776-31849). The Environmental Protection Agency 
(EPA) has completed its review of North Dakota's primacy revisions and 
has determined that they are no less stringent than the NPDWRs for 
Phase II, Phase IIb and Phase V. EPA therefore approves North Dakota's 
primacy revisions for the Phase II, Phase IIb and Phase V Regulations. 
This determination shall become effective on January 17, 1995.
    Any interested parties are invited to submit written comments on 
this determination, and may request a public hearing on or before 
January 17, 1995. If a public hearing is requested and granted, this 
determination shall not become effective until such time following the 
hearing that the Regional Administrator issues an order affirming or 
rescinding this action.
    Requests for a public hearing should be addressed to: William P. 
Yellowtail, Regional Administrator, c/o David Schmidt (8WM-DW), U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency, Region VIII, 999 18th Street, Suite

    Frivolous or insubstantial requests for a hearing may be denied by 
the Regional Administrator. However, if a substantial request is made

held.

Administrator's determination and of information that the requesting 
person intends to submit at such hearing; and (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 the responsible

statement of purpose, information regarding 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 the Regional Administrator does not elect to hold a hearing on his 
own motion, this determination shall become effective on January 17, 
1995. Please bring this notice to the attention of any persons known by 
you to have an interest in this determination.
