Notice of Tentative Approval and Opportunity for Public Comment 
and Public Hearing for Public Water System Supervision Program Revision 
for Pennsylvania

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of approval and solicitation of requests for public 
hearing.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania 
is revising its approved Public Water System Supervision Program. 
Pennsylvania has adopted drinking water regulations for the Ground 
Water Rule and the Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule. 
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has determined that 
Pennsylvania's Ground Water Rule and Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water 
Treatment Rule meet all minimum federal requirements, and that these 
are no less stringent than the corresponding federal regulations. 
Therefore, EPA has tentatively decided to approve the State program 
revisions.

DATES: Comments or a request for a public hearing must be submitted by 
December 4, 2020. This determination shall become final and effective 
on December 4, 2020 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, and if no comments are received which cause 
EPA to modify its tentative approval.

ADDRESSES: As a result of impacts related to the COVID-19 pandemic, all 
requests for documents relating to this determination must be submitted 
by electronic mail to the address below. Comments or a request for a 
public hearing must also be submitted via electronic mail.

Water Section by email at [email protected], or telephone (215) 814-
2331.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: All interested parties are invited to submit 
written comments on this determination and may request a hearing. All 
comments will be considered, and if necessary, EPA will issue a 
response. Frivolous or insubstantial requests for a hearing will be 
denied by the Regional Administrator. If a substantial request for a 
public hearing is made by December 4, 2020, a public hearing will be 
held. A request for public hearing shall include the following: (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 of information that the requesting person intends to 
submit at such hearing; and (3) the signature of the individual making 
the request; or, if the request is made on behalf of an organization or
