Public Water System Supervision Program Revision for the State of 
Georgia

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of tentative approval.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the State of Georgia is revising 
its approved Public Water System Supervision Program. Georgia has 
adopted drinking water regulations requiring consumer confidence 
reports from all community water systems, defining analytical methods 
for radionuclides, removing prohibition of the use of point of use 
devices, requiring special monitoring for inorganic and organic 
contaminants and revising definitions for administrative penalty 
authority, public water system, and existing variance and exemption 
regulations. EPA has determined that these revisions are no less 
stringent than the corresponding federal regulations. Therefore, EPA 
intends on approving this State program revision.
    All interested parties may request a public hearing. A request for 
a public hearing must be submitted by December 30, 2000 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 
December 30, 2000, 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 December 30, 2000. 
Any request for a public hearing shall include the following 
information: The name, address, and telephone number of the individual 
organization, or other entity requesting a hearing; A brief statement 
of the requesting person's interest in the Regional Administrator's 
determination and a brief statement of the information that the 
requesting person intends to submit at such hearing; and 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:
    Department of Natural Resources, Environmental Protection Division, 
Water Resources Branch, 205 Bulter Street, S.E., Atlanta, GA 30334 or 
at the Environmental Protection Agency, Region 4, Drinking Water 
Section, 61 Forsyth Street Southwest, Atlanta, Georgia 30303.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lori Brown, EPA Region 4, Drinking 
Water Section at the Atlanta address given above or at telephone

amended (1996), and 40 CFR part 142 of the National Primary Drinking 
Water Regulations)

    Dated: November 16, 2000.
