Public Hearing for Public Water System Supervision Program Revision for 
the State of Delaware

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given in accordance with the provision of 
section 1413 of the Safe Drinking Water Act as amended, and the rules 
governing National Primary Drinking Water Regulations that the State of 
Delaware has revised its approved Public Water System Supervision 
Primacy Program. Specifically, Delaware has revised its Administrative 
Penalty Authority and its definition of a public water system. EPA has 
determined that these program revisions satisfy the requirements of the 
Federal regulations. Therefore, EPA has decided to tentatively approve 
these program 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 
February 2, 2001. This determination shall become effective on February 
2, 2001 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, Mail Code 
3WP22, 1650 Arch Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103-2029. All documents

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 February 2, 2001, 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
