Public Water System Supervision Program Revisions for the State 
of Ohio

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of tentative approval.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the State of Ohio is revising its 
approved Public Water System Supervision Program. Ohio has revised its 
definition of a Public Water System, Consumer Confidence Report Rule, 
Public Notification Rule, Interim Enhanced Surface Water Treatment 
Rule; and Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule.
    EPA has determined that these revisions by the State are no less 
stringent than the corresponding Federal regulations. Therefore, EPA 
intends to approve these revisions to the State of Ohio's Public Water 
System Supervision Program.
    Any interested party may request a public hearing. A request for a 
public hearing must be submitted by July 12, 2006, to the Regional 
Administrator at the EPA Region 5 address shown below. The Regional 
Administrator may deny frivolous or insubstantial requests for a 
hearing. However, if a substantial request for a public hearing is made 
by July 12, 2006, EPA Region 5 will hold a public hearing. If EPA 
Region 5 does not receive a timely and appropriate request for a 
hearing and the Regional Administrator does not elect to hold a hearing 
on his own motion, this determination shall become final and effective 
on July 12, 2006. 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 at the following offices: Ohio Environmental Protection 
Agency, Division of Drinking and Ground Waters, 122 South Front Street,
