Public Water System Supervision Program: Program Revision for the 
State of Missouri

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the State of Missouri is revising 
its approved State Public Water System Supervision (PWSS) Program. 
Missouri has adopted regulations for (1) synthetic organic chemicals 
and inorganic chemicals (Phase II), that correspond to the National 
Primary Drinking Water Regulations published by EPA on January 30, 1991 
(56 FR 3526); (2) volatile organic chemicals (Phase IIb), that 
correspond to the National Primary Drinking Water Regulations published 
by EPA on July 1, 1991, (56 FR 32112) (3) synthetic organic chemicals 
and inorganic chemicals (Phase V), that correspond to the National 
Primary Drinking Water Regulations published by EPA on July 17, 1992 
(57 FR 31776); and (4) lead and copper, that correspond to the National 
Primary Drinking Water Regulations published by EPA on June 7, 1991 (56 
FR 26460).
    EPA has determined that these State program revisions are no less 
stringent than the corresponding Federal regulations. This 
determination was based upon an evaluation of Missouri's PWSS program 
in accordance with the requirements stated in 40 CFR 142.10. 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 to the Regional 
Administrator, within thirty (30) days of the date of this Notice, at 
the address shown below. If a public hearing is requested and 

[[Page 49408]]
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. 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 thirty (30) days from this Notice date.
    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.
    Requests for a public hearing should be addressed to: Ralph 
Langemeier, Chief, Drinking Water Branch, U.S. Environmental Protection 
Agency, Region VII, 726 Minnesota Avenue, Kansas City, Kansas 66101.
    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.
    Notice of any hearing shall be given not less than fifteen (15) 
days prior to the time scheduled for the hearing. Such notice will be 
made by the Regional Administrator in the Federal Register and in 
newspapers of general circulation in the State of Missouri. A notice 
will also be sent to the person(s) requesting the hearing as well as to 
the State of Missouri. 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.

determination is available for inspection between the hours of 7:30
