Public Water Supply Supervision Program; Program Revision for the 
State of Alaska

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the State of Alaska is revising 
its approved State Public Water Supply Supervision Primacy Program. 
Alaska has adopted drinking water regulations for certain inorganic, 
volatile organic and synthetic organic chemicals (collectively known as 
the Phase II, Phase IIB and Phase V contaminants) and for lead and 
copper. EPA has determined that these State program revisions are no 
less stringent than the corresponding Federal regulations. Therefore, 
EPA has tentatively decided to approve these State program revisions. 
By approving Alaska's Phase II/IIB/V Contaminants Rule and its Lead and 
Copper Rule, EPA does not intend to affect the rights of Federally 
recognized Indian tribes within ``Indian Country,'' as defined in 18 
U.S.C. 1151, nor does it intend to limit existing rights of the State 
of Alaska.
    All interested parties may request a public hearing. A request for 
public hearing must be submitted by July 3, 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 July 
3, 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 final and effective July 3, 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 intends to submit at such hearing; and (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 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday 
through Friday, at the following offices:
