Public Water Supervision Program Revision for the State of 
Tennessee

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of tentative approval.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the State of Tennessee is revising 
its approved Public Water System Supervision Program. Tennessee has 
adopted drinking water regulations which incorporate the requirements 
of the Public Notification Rule. EPA has determined that these 
revisions are no less stringent than the corresponding federal 
regulations. Therefore, EPA intends to approve this State program 
revision.
    All interested parties may request a public hearing. A request for 
a public hearing must be submitted by November 20, 2002, 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 November 20, 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 shall become final and effective on November 
20, 2002. 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 a brief statement of the 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 the 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 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday 
through Friday, at the following offices: Tennessee Department of 
Environment and Conservation, Division of Water Supply, 401 Church 
Street, L&C Tower, Sixth Floor, Nashville, Tennessee, 37243-1549, or at 
the Environmental Protection Agency, Region 4, Drinking Water Section, 
61 Forsyth Street Southwest, Atlanta, Georgia 30303.

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

Act, as amended (1996), and 40 CFR parts 141 and 142.

    Dated: September 24, 2002.
