Public Water System Supervision Program Revision for the State of 
Texas

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of tentative approval.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the State of Texas is revising its 
approved Public Water System Supervision (PWSS) program. Texas has 
adopted the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) drinking water rule 
for Variance and Exemptions (V&E). EPA has determined that the proposed 
V&E Rule submitted by Texas is no less stringent than the corresponding 
federal regulations. Therefore, EPA intends to approve this PWSS 
program revision package.

DATES: All interested parties may request a public hearing. A request 
for a public hearing must be submitted by August 23, 2021 to the 
Regional Administrator at the EPA Region 6 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 August 23, 2021, 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 August 
23, 2021. 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 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday 
through Friday, at the following offices: Texas Commission on 
Environmental Quality, Water Supply Division, Public Drinking Water 
Section (MC-155), Building F, 12100 Park 35 Circle, Austin, TX 78753; 
and United States Environmental Protection Agency, Region 6, Drinking 
Water Section (6WD-DD), 1201 Elm St, Dallas, TX 75270.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jos[eacute] G. Rodriguez, EPA Region 
6, Drinking Water Section at the Dallas address given above, or by 
telephone at (214) 665-8087, or by email at [email protected].

(1996), and 40 CFR part 142 of the National Primary Drinking Water 
Regulations.

    Dated: July 9, 2021.
