Public Water System Supervision Program Revision for Commonwealth 
of Puerto Rico

AGENCY: United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico is 
revising its approved Public Water System Supervision Primacy Program. 
The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico has adopted drinking water regulations 
that satisfy the National Primary Drinking [[Page 3402]] Water 
Regulations for the Synthetic Organic Chemicals and Inorganic 
Chemicals; Monitoring for Unregulated Contaminants rule (Phase 2), 
Monitoring for Volatile Organic Chemicals rule (Phase 2B), and the 
Synthetic Organic Chemicals and Inorganic Chemicals rule (Phase 5). 
These regulations were promulgated by EPA on January 30, 1991 (56 FR 
3526), July 1, 1991 (56 FR 30266) with May 27, 1992 correction (57 FR 
22178); and July 17, 1992 (57 FR 31776), respectively.
    The USEPA has determined that Puerto Rico's Phase regulations are 
no less stringent than the corresponding Federal regulations and that 
Puerto Rico continues to meet all requirements for primary enforcement 
responsibility as specified in 40 CFR 142.10. All interested parties, 
other than Federal Agencies, may request a public hearing. A request 
for a public hearing must be submitted to the USEPA Regional 
Administrator at the address shown below within thirty (30) days after 
the date of this Federal Register Notice. If a substantial request for 
a public hearing is made within the required thirty-day period, a 
public hearing will be held and a notice will be given in the Federal 
Register and a newspaper of general circulation. Frivolous or 
insubstantial requests for a hearing may be denied by the Regional 
Administrator. If no timely and appropriate request for a hearing is 
received and the Regional Administrator does not choose to hold a 
hearing on his/her motion, this determination shall become final and 
effective thirty (30) days after publication of this Federal Register 
Notice. Any request for a public hearing shall include the following 
information:
    (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 a brief statement on 
information that the requesting person intends to submit at such 
hearing;
    (3) the signature of the individual making the requests 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: Requests for Public Hearing shall be addressed to: Regional 
Administrator, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency--Region II, Jacob 
K. Javits Federal Building, 26 Federal Plaza, New York, New York 10278.
