Public Water System Supervision Program Revision for the State of 
North Carolina

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the State of North Carolina is 
revising its approved Public Water System Supervision Program. North 
Carolina has adopted drinking water regulations establishing 
administrative penalty authority and defining a public water system. 
EPA has determined that the administrative penalty authority revisions 
meet all minimum federal requirements, and that the public water system 
definition revisions are no less stringent than the corresponding 
federal regulations. Therefore, EPA has tentatively decided to approve 
these State program revisions.

DATES: All interested parties may request a public hearing. A request 
for a public hearing must be submitted by October 27, 1999 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 October 27, 1999, 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 final and effective on October 
27, 1999. Any request for a public hearing shall include the following 
information: (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.

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:
