revisions. All interested parties are invited to submit written 
comments on this determination and may request a public hearing.

DATES: Comments or a request for a public hearing must be submitted by 
October 2, 2000. This determination shall become effective on October 
2, 2000 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, and if no comments are received which cause EPA to modify 
its tentative approval.

ADDRESSES: Comments or a request for a public hearing must be submitted 
to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region III, 1650 Arch 
Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103-2029. All documents relating to this

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: All interested parties are invited to submit 
written comments on this determination and may request a public 
hearing. All comments will be considered, and, if necessary, EPA will 
issue a response. 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 2, 2000, a public 
hearing will be held. A request for 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
