Public Water Supervision Program: Program Revisions for the 
Commonwealth of Massachusetts

AGENCY: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the Commonwealth of Massachusetts 
is revising it's approved State Public Water Supervision Primacy 
Program. Massachusetts has adopted drinking water regulations for 
Volatile Organic Chemicals, Synthetic Organic Chemicals, and Inorganic 
Chemicals (known as Phase II, IIB, and V) in drinking water that 
correspond to the National Primary Drinking Water Regulations 
promulgated by EPA on January 30, 1991 (56 FR 3526), July 1, 1991 (56 
FR 30266), and July 17, 1992 (57 FR 31776). EPA has determined that the 
State program revisions are no less stringent than the corresponding 
Federal regulations. Therefore, EPA has tentatively decided to approve 
these State program revisions.
    All interested parties are invited to request a public hearing. A 
request for a public hearing must be submitted by May 8, 1995 to the 
Regional Administrator at the address shown below. Frivolous or 
insubstantial requests for a hearing may be denied by the Regional 
Administrator. However, if a substantial request for a public hearing 
is made by May 8, 1995, a public hearing will be held. If no timely and 
appropriate request for a hearing is received and the Regional 
Administrator does not elect to hold a hearing on his own motion, this 
determination shall become effective May 8, 1995.
    Any request for a public hearing shall include the following: (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 of information that the requesting person intended to 
submit at such hearing. (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 a responsible official of the 
organization or other entity.

ADDRESSES: All documents relating to this determination are available 
for inspection between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday
