Public Water System Supervision Program Revision for the 
Commonwealth of Virginia

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given in accordance with the provisions of 
section 1413 of the Safe Drinking Water Act as amended, 42 U.S.C. 300f 
et seq., and 40 CFR 142.10, the National Primary Drinking Water 
Regulations, that the Commonwealth of Virginia has revised their 
approved State Public Water System Supervision Primacy Program. 
Virginia has adopted drinking water regulations for volatile organic 
chemicals, synthetic organic chemicals, and inorganic chemicals (Known 
as Phase II, IIB and V) that correspond to the National Primary 
Drinking Water Regulations promulgated by EPA on January 30, 1991 (56 
FR 3526), July 1, 1991 (56 FR 30266) and July 17, 1992 (57 FR 31776). 
Virginia has also adopted drinking water regulations for lead and 
copper that correspond to the National Primary Drinking Water 
Regulations 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 September 24, 1998 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 September 24, 1998, 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 September 24, 
1998.
    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 a 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.

ADDRESSES: All documents relating to this determination are available 
for inspection between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday 
through Friday, at the following offices:
