SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the Commonwealth of Kentucky is 
revising its approved Public Water System Supervision Program. Kentucky 
has adopted the following rules: Public Notification Rule, Arsenic 
Rule, Radionuclides Rule, Long-Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment 
Rule, Lead and Copper Rule Short-Term Revisions, Stage 1 Disinfectants 
and Disinfection Byproduct Rule and the Stage 2 Disinfectants and

rules are no less stringent than the corresponding federal regulations. 
Therefore, the EPA is tentatively approving this revision to the 
Commonwealth of Kentucky's Public Water System Supervision Program.

for a public hearing must be submitted by May 18, 2012, to the Regional

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
