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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of tentative approval.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the State of South Carolina is 
revising their Public Water System Supervision (PWSS) program to meet 
the requirements of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). South Carolina 
Department of Health and Environmental Control 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 South Carolina's PWSS program 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,

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 
http://www.regulations.gov index. Although listed in the index, some
