Public Water System Supervision Program Revisions for the State 
of Hawaii Lead and Copper Rule

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

ACTION: Notice of decision and opportunity for hearing.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the State of Hawaii is revising 
its approved State Public Water System Supervision Program. Hawaii has 
adopted regulations for controlling lead and copper in drinking water. 
The Hawaii State regulations correspond to the National Primary 
Drinking Water Regulations promulgated by EPA on June 7, 1991 [56 FR 
26460], also known as the Lead and Copper Rule; and correcting 
amendments appearing on July 15, 1991 [56 FR 32112]; June 29, 1992 [57 
FR 28785]; and June 30, 1994 [59 FR 33860]. EPA has determined that the 
State program revisions are no less stringent than the corresponding 
federal regulations. 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 May 23, 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 May 23, 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: Hawaii Department of Health, 
Five Waterfront Plaza, Suite 250, 500 Ala Moana Blvd., Honolulu, Hawaii 
96813; and EPA, Region IX, Water Management Division, Drinking Water

San Francisco address given above or by telephone at (415) 744-1854.

CFR 142.10 of the National Primary Drinking Water Regulations)
