Public Water System Supervision Program Revision for the 
Government of the Virgin Islands

AGENCY: United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the Government of the Virgin 
Islands is revising its approved Public Water System Supervision 
Primacy Program. The Government of the Virgin Islands has adopted 
drinking water regulations that satisfy the National Primary Drinking 
Water Regulations for the Lead and Copper Rule (LCR). USEPA regulations 
were promulgated on June 7, 1991 (56 FR 26460). The USEPA has 
determined that the Virgin Islands' Lead and Copper regulations are no 
less stringent than the corresponding Federal regulations and that the 
Virgin Islands 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.
