Public Water System Supervision Program Revision for the State of 
California Public Notification Regulations

AGENCY: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of decision and opportunity for hearing.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the State of California is 
revising its approved State Public Water System Supervision Program. 
California has adopted revised drinking water regulations which require 
owners or operators of public water systems to notify the persons they 
serve when certain violations of the National Primary Drinking Water 
Regulations (NPDWRs) or certain monitoring requirements occur, when 
variance or exemptions are in effect, and when a system fails to comply 
with any schedule prescribed pursuant to a variance or exemption. These 
state regulations correspond to National Primary Drinking Water 
Regulations promulgated by EPA on October 28, 1987 [52 FR 41534]. EPA 
has determined that the State program revisions are no less stringent 
than the corresponding federal rules. Therefore, EPA has tentatively 
decided to approve the State program revision.
    All interested parties are invited to request a public hearing on 
EPA's decision to approve the State program revisions. A request for a 
public hearing must be submitted by February 26, 1996, to the Regional 
Administrator at the address shown below. 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 elect to hold a hearing on his/her own motion, 
this determination shall become effective February 26, 1996.
    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 8:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., Monday 
through Friday, at the following offices: California Department of 
Health Services, Division of Drinking Water and Environmental 
Management, 601 North 7th Street, P.O. Box 942732, Sacramento, CA 
94234-7320; and EPA, Region IX, Water Management Division, Drinking 
Water Section (W-6-1), 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, California 
94105.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: William M. Robberson, EPA, Region IX, 
at the San Francisco address given above or by telephone at (415) 744-
1857.
