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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of tentative approval.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the State of Alaska has revised 
its approved State Public Water Supply Supervision Primacy Program. 
Alaska has adopted regulations analogous to EPA's Stage 2 Disinfectants 
and Disinfection Byproducts Rule; Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water 
Treatment Rule; and Lead and Copper Short-Term Regulatory Revisions and 
Clarifications 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 Alaska.

DATES: All interested parties may request a public hearing. A request 
for a public hearing must be submitted by February 28, 2011 to the 
Regional Administrator at the EPA 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 February 28, 2011, 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 February 
28, 2011. 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 following offices: Alaska Department of Environmental 
Conservation (ADEC), 410 Willoughby, Suite 303, Juneau, Alaska 99801;
