Public Water Supply Supervision Program; Program Revision for the 
State of Idaho

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of Tentative Approval.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the State of Idaho has revised its 
approved State Public Water Supply Supervision (PWSS) Primacy Program. 
Idaho has revised its PWSS program with respect to administrative 
penalty authority, has adopted a revised definition of public water 
system, and has adopted drinking water regulations requiring consumer 
confidence reports from all community water systems. Idaho has also 
adopted regulations for the Interim Enhanced Surface Water Treatment 
Rule, the Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, the 
Lead and Copper Rule Minor Revisions, the Public Notification Rule, the 
Radionuclides Rule, the Filter Backwash Recycling Rule, the Long Term 1 
Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule, and the Arsenic Rule. EPA has 
determined that these revisions are no less stringent than the 
corresponding federal regulations. Therefore, EPA intends to approve 
these State program revisions. By approving these rules, EPA does not 
intend to affect the rights of Federally recognized Indian tribes 
within ``Indian country'' as defined by 18 U.S.C. 1151, nor does it 
intend to limit existing rights of the State of Idaho.
    All interested parties may request a public hearing. A request for 
a public hearing must be submitted by August 18, 2006 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 
August 18, 2006, 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 August 18, 2006.
    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 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through 
Friday, at the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality, 1410 North 
Hilton, Boise, Idaho 83706 and between the hours of 9 a.m.-12 and 1 
p.m.-2:30 p.m. at the EPA Region 10 Library, 1200 Sixth Avenue, 
Seattle, Washington 98101.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Wendy Marshall, EPA Region 10,

Water Regulations.
