Public Water System Supervision Program Revision for the State of 
Utah

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 Utah has revised its Public Water 
System Supervision (PWSS) Primacy Program. Utah's PWSS program, 
administered by the Utah Division of Drinking Water, has adopted 
regulations for Phase II (7 inorganic and 26 organic chemicals), Phase 
IIb (1 inorganic and 4 organic chemicals), Phase V (5 inorganic and 18 
organic chemicals), and lead and copper 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), Phase V (Federal Register Vol. 57, No. 138, July 17, 1992, Pg. 
31776-31849), and for lead and copper (Federal Register Vol. 56, No. 
110, June 7, 1991, Pg. 26460-26564). The Environmental Protection 
Agency (EPA) has completed its review of Utah's primacy revisions and 
has determined that they are no less stringent than the NPDWRs. EPA 
therefore approves Utah's primacy revisions for the Phase II, IIb, V, 
and Lead and Copper Rules. This determination shall become effective 
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 Marty Swickard (8WM-DW), U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency, Region VIII, 999 18th Street, Suite 
500, Denver, CO 80202-2466.
    Frivolous or insubstantial requests for a hearing may be denied by 
the Regional Administrator. However, if a substantial request is made

held.

individual making the request, or, if the request is made on behalf of 
an organization or other entity, the signature of the responsible

    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

also be sent to the person(s) requesting the hearing as well as to the 
State of Utah. The hearing notice will include a 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.
