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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the State of North Carolina is 
revising its approved Public Water System Supervision Program. North 
Carolina has adopted drinking water regulations for Minor Revisions to 
the Lead and Copper Rule, Arsenic, Radionuclides and Filter Backwash. 
EPA has determined that these revisions are no less stringent than the 
corresponding Federal regulations. Therefore, EPA has tentatively 
decided to approve this State program revision.

DATES: All interested parties may request a public hearing. A request 
for a public hearing must be submitted by May 24, 2004, 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 May 
24, 2004, 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 May 24, 2004. 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 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:
