Public Water System Supervision Program Revisions for the State 
of Tennessee

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of tentative approval.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the State of Tennessee is in the 
process of revising their approved Public Water System Supervision 
(PWSS) program to meet the requirements of the Safe Drinking Water Act 
(SDWA). Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation has 
adopted drinking water regulations for the Long Term 2 Surface Water 
Treatment and the Stage 2 Disinfection By-Products Rules. EPA has 
determined that these revisions are no less stringent than the 
corresponding federal regulations. Therefore, EPA intends to approve 
Tennessee's PWSS revision for these rules.

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, 
SW., Atlanta, GA 30303. For documents specific to this State: Tennessee 
Department of Environment and Conservation, Division of Water Supply, 
401 Church Street, 6th Floor L&C Tower, Nashville, TN 37243. You may 
also submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R04-OW-2007-
1050, in one of the following methods:
    1. http://www.regulations.gov: Follow the on-line instructions for 
submitting comments.
    2. E-mail: [email protected].
    3. Fax: (404) 562-9439.
    Instructions: Direct your comments to Docket ID No. EPA-R04-OW-
2007-1050. EPA's policy is that all comments received will be included 
in the public docket without change and may be made available online at 
http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information 
provided, unless the comment includes information claimed to be 
Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information whose 
disclosure is restricted by statute. Do not submit through http://www.regulations.gov or e-mail information that you consider to be CBI 
or otherwise protected. The http://www.regulations.gov Web site is an 
``anonymous access'' system, which means EPA will not know your 
identity or contact information unless you provide it in the body of 
your comment. If you send an e-mail comment directly to EPA without 
going through http://www.regulations.gov, your e-mail address will be 
automatically captured and included as part of the comment that is 
placed in the public docket and made available on the Internet. If you 
submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends that you include your name 
and other contact information in the body of your comment and with any 
disk or CD-ROM you submit. If EPA cannot read your comment due to 
technical difficulties and cannot contact you for clarification, EPA 
may not be able to consider your comment. Electronic files should avoid 
the use of special characters, any form of encryption, and be free of 
any defects or viruses. For additional information about EPA's public 
docket visit the EPA Docket Center homepage at http://www.epa.gov/epahome/dockets.htm.
    Docket: All documents in the electronic docket are listed in the 
www.regulations.gov index. Although listed in the index, some 
information is not publicly available, i.e., CBI or other information 
whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Certain other material, such 
as copyrighted material, is not placed on the Internet and will be 
publicly available only in hard copy form. Publicly available docket 
materials are available either electronically in http://www.regulations.gov or in hard copy at the U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency, Region 4 office.
