Public Water System Supervision Program Revision for the State of 
Louisiana

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of tentative approval.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the State of Louisiana is revising 
its approved Public Water System Supervision Program. Louisiana has 
revised its administrative penalty authority, revised its definition 
for public water system, and adopted a consumer confidence report rule 
for all community water systems. EPA has determined that these 
revisions are no less stringent than the corresponding federal 
regulations. Therefore, EPA intends to approve these program revisions. 
All interested parties may request a public hearing. A request for a 
public hearing must be submitted by July 18, 2003, to the Regional 
Administrator at the EPA Region 6 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 July 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 July 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: Louisiana Department of 
Health and Hospitals, Engineering Services, Safe Drinking Water 
Program, 6867 Bluebonnet Drive, Baton Rouge, LA 70810 and the United 
States Environmental Protection Agency, Region 6, Drinking Water 
Section (6WQ-SD), 1445 Ross Avenue, Suite 1200, Dallas, Texas 75202.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David Reazin, EPA Region 6, Drinking 
Water Section at the Dallas address given above or at telephone (214) 
665-7501, or [email protected].

    Authority: (Sec. 1413 of the Safe Drinking Water Act, as amended 
(1996), and 40 CFR part 142 of the National Primary Drinking Water 
Regulations).

    Dated: June 9, 2003.
Richard E. Greene,
Regional Administrator, Region 6.
