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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of tentative approval.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the State of North Carolina is 
revising their Public Water System Supervision (PWSS) program to meet 
the requirements of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). North Carolina 
Department of Environment and Natural Resources has adopted drinking 
water regulations for the Public Notification Rule. EPA has determined 
that these revisions are no less stringent than the corresponding 
federal regulations. Therefore, EPA intends to approve North Carolina's 
PWSS program for this rule.

DATES: All interested parties may request a public hearing and/or 
submit comments within thirty (30) days of the Federal Register 
publication date to the Regional Administrator at the address shown 
below. Frivolous or insubstantial requests for a public hearing may be 
denied by the Regional Administrator. However, if a substantial request 
for a public hearing is made within the 30 days, a public hearing will 
be held. If no timely and appropriate request is received, and the 
Regional Administrator does not elect to hold a hearing on his/her own 
motion, this determination shall become final and effective 30 days 
after the publication of this notice.

ADDRESSES: All documents relating to this determination are available 
for inspection between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday 
through Friday, excluding federal holidays, at U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency, Region 4, Water Management Division, Ground Water 
and Drinking Water Branch, Drinking Water Section, 61 Forsyth Street,

viruses. For additional information about EPA's public docket visit the
