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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of Tentative Approval.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the State of Washington has 
revised its approved State Public Water Supply Supervision Primacy 
Program. Washington has adopted regulations analogous to EPA's 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 Washington.

DATES: All interested parties may request a public hearing. A request 
for a public hearing must be submitted by July 6, 2012 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 July 6, 2012, 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 July 6, 2012. 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 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., Monday 
through Friday, at the Washington Department of Health--Office of 
Drinking Water,
