Public Water Supply Supervision Program, Program Revision for the 
States of Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the States of Arkansas, Louisiana, 
New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas are revising their approved State Public 
Water Supply Supervision Primacy Program. These States have adopted 
drinking water regulations for Lead and Copper, and National Primary 
Drinking Water Regulation Implementation promulgated 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. 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 February 28, 1996 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 February 28, 1996, 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 on February 28, 1996.
    A 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. (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.
