Public Water System Supervision Program Revision for the State of 
South Carolina

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the State of South Carolina is 
revising its approved Public Water System Supervision Program. South 
Carolina has adopted drinking water regulations revising the public 
notification rule. EPA has determined that the public notification rule 
meets all minimum federal requirements, and is no less stringent than 
the corresponding federal regulations. Therefore, EPA has tentatively 
decided to approve the State program revisions.
