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 which incorporate the requirements 
of the Interim Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule and Stage 1 
Disinfectants/Disinfection Byproducts Rule. 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 February 18, 2003, 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 February 18, 2003, 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 February 
18, 2003. 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 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday 
through Friday, at the following offices:
