Public Water System Supervision Program Revisions for the State 
of Nevada

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of tentative approval.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the State of Nevada has revised 
its approved Public Water System Supervision Program under the federal 
Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), 42 U.S.C. 300f et seq., pertaining to 
administrative penalty authority and the definition of public water 
system.
    Nevada first assumed primary enforcement authority (``primacy'') 
for the Public Water System Supervision Program (``PWSSP'') on March 
29, 1978. EPA has determined that these revisions to the State's PWSSP 
are no less stringent than the corresponding Federal regulations and 
otherwise meet applicable SDWA primacy requirements for the PWSSP. 
Therefore, EPA intends to approve these revisions to the State of 
Nevada's approved PWSSP. Today's approval action does not extend to 
public water systems in Indian Country, as defined at 18 U.S.C. 1151.

DATES: Any interested party may submit written comments on this 
determination and request a public hearing. All comments will be 
considered and, if necessary, EPA will issue a response. A request for 
a public hearing must be submitted by October 24, 2008, to the Regional 
Administrator at the EPA Region 9 address shown below. The Regional 
Administrator may deny frivolous or insubstantial requests for a 
hearing. If a substantial request for a public hearing is made by 
October 24, 2008, EPA Region 9 will hold a public hearing. If EPA 
Region 9 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 October 24, 2008.
    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 at the following offices Monday through Friday between 
the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.:
