July 10, 2002, to the Regional Administrator at the EPA Region 7

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Iowa has adopted (1) the Consumer Confidence

provide to their customers annual consumer confidence reports on the 
quality of the water delivered by the systems (63 FR 44511-44536, 
August 19, 1998); (2) a revised definition of ``public water systems'' 
(63 FR 23361-23368, April 28, 1998); (3) the Analytical Methods for

microbial pathogens in drinking water, including the protozoan, 
Cryptosporidium (63 FR 69477-69521, December 16, 1998); and (5) a Stage 
1 Disinfection/ Disinfection By-Products Rule, setting requirements to 
limit the formation of chemical disinfectant by-products in drinking 
water (63 FR 69389-69476, December 16, 1998).
    Any request for a public hearing must 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 a brief statement of information that 
the requesting person intends to submit at such hearing; and (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.
    Insubstantial requests for a hearing may be denied by the Regional 
Administrator. However, if a substantial request is made by July 10, 
2002, 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 will 
become final and effective on July 10, 2002.
