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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

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 the EPA's Ground Water 
Rule. The EPA has determined that these revisions are no less stringent 
than the corresponding federal regulations. Therefore, the EPA intends 
to approve these State program revisions. By approving these rules, the 
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 August 29, 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 August 29, 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 August 29, 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.

for inspection between the hours of 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through
