for Delaware

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

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

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the State of Delaware is revising 
its approved Public Water System Supervision Program. Delaware has 
adopted drinking water regulations for the Stage 1 Disinfectants and 
Disinfection Byproduct Rule. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 
(EPA) has determined that Delaware's Stage 1 Disinfectants and 
Disinfection Byproduct Rule meets all minimum Federal requirements, and 
that it is no less stringent than the corresponding Federal regulation. 
Therefore, EPA has tentatively decided to approve the State program 
revisions.

DATES: Comments or a request for a public hearing must be submitted by 
April 17, 2024. This determination shall become final and effective on 
April 17, 2024 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.

to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 3, Drinking Water 
Section (3WD21), 4 Penn Center, 1600 John F. Kennedy Blvd.,
