Public Water System Supervision Program Revision for the State of 
Alabama

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of tentative approval.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the State of Alabama is revising 
its approved Public Water System Supervision Program. Alabama has 
adopted the following rules: Long Term 1 Enhanced Surface Water 
Treatment Rule, Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule, and 
Stage 2 Disinfection/Disinfection Byproducts Rule. EPA has determined 
that Alabama's rules are no less stringent than the corresponding 
federal regulations. Therefore, EPA is tentatively approving this 
revision to the State of Alabama's Public Water System Supervision 
Program.

DATES: Any interested person may request a public hearing. A request 
for a public hearing must be submitted by July 18, 2012, to the 
Regional Administrator at the EPA Region 4 address shown below. The 
Regional Administrator may deny frivolous or insubstantial requests for 
a hearing. However, if a substantial request for a public hearing is 
made by July 18, 2012, a public hearing will be held. If EPA Region 4 
does not receive a timely and appropriate request for a hearing and the 
Regional Administrator does not elect to hold a hearing on her own 
motion, this determination shall become final and effective on July 18, 
2012. Any request for a public hearing shall include the following 
information: The name, address, and telephone number of the individual, 
organization, or other entity requesting a hearing; 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; and 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 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday 
through Friday, at the following offices: Alabama Department of 
Environmental Management, Drinking Water Branch,
