Public Water System Supervision Program Approval for the State of 
Illinois

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of tentative approval.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the Environmental Protection 
Agency (EPA) tentatively approved a revision to the state of Illinois 
Public Water System Supervision Program under the federal Safe Drinking 
Water Act (SDWA) by adopting the Consumer Confidence Report Rule. The 
EPA has determined this revision is no less stringent than the 
corresponding federal regulation. Therefore, the EPA intends to approve 
this revision to the state of Illinois Public Water System Supervision 
Program, thereby giving Illinois Environmental Protection Agency 
primary enforcement responsibility for this regulation.

DATES: Any interested party may request a public hearing on this 
determination. A request for a public hearing must be submitted by 
September 8, 2020. The EPA Region 5 Administrator may deny frivolous or 
insubstantial requests for a hearing. However, if a substantial request 
for a public hearing is made by September 8, 2020, EPA Region 5 will 
hold a public hearing, and a notice of such hearing will be published 
in the Federal Register and a newspaper of general circulation. 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. If EPA Region 5 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 motion, this determination shall become final 
and effective on September 8, 2020 and no further public notice will be 
issued.
