Public Water System Supervision Program Revision for the State of 
South 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 South Dakota has revised its Public 
Water System Supervision (PWSS) Primacy Program. South Dakota's PWSS 
program, administered by the Office of Drinking Water of the Department 
of Environment and Natural Resources, has adopted regulations for total 
coliforms, surface water treatment, 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 total coliforms (Federal Register Vol. 54, No. 124, June 29, 
1989, Pg. 27544-27568), surface water treatment (Federal Register Vol. 
54, No. 124, June 29, 1989, Pg. 27486-27541), 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 South Dakota's primacy revisions and has determined that they 
are no less stringent than the NPDWRs. EPA therefore approves South 
Dakota's primacy revisions for Total Coliforms, Surface Water 
Treatment, Phase II, IIb, and V Rules. This determination shall become 
effective April 27, 1995.
    Any interested parties are invited to submit written comments on 
this determination, and may request a public hearing on or before April 
27, 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 
within thirty (30) days after this notice, a public hearing will be 
held.

notice will also be sent to the person(s) requesting the hearing as 
well as to the State of South Dakota. 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 April 27, 
1995. Please bring this notice to the attention of any persons known by
