Supervision Program for the State of Vermont

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the State of Vermont is revising 
its approved Public Water System Supervision (PWSS) program to meet the 
requirements of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA).

DATES: All interested parties may request a public hearing for any of 
the above EPA determinations. A request for a public hearing must be 
submitted by October 4, 2024 to the Regional Administrator at the 
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 
this date, 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 October 4, 2024.
    Any request for a public hearing shall include the following 
information: (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; (3) information that the requesting 
person intends to submit at such hearing; and (4) 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 4:00 p.m., Monday 
through Friday, at the following office(s) below. Please call to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The State of Vermont has adopted drinking 
water regulations for the Revised Total Coliform Rule (78 FR 10269) 
promulgated on February 13, 2013. After review of documentation 
submitted by the State, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has 
determined that the State's rule is no less stringent than the 
corresponding federal regulation. EPA, therefore, intends to approve 
the state's PWSS program revision for this rule.
    Authority: Section 1401 (42 U.S.C. 300f) and Section 1413 (42 
U.S.C. 300g-2) of the Safe Drinking Water Act, as amended (1996), and 
(40 CFR 142.10) of the National Primary Drinking Water Regulations.

    Dated: August 27, 2024.

Acting Regional Administrator, EPA Region 1--New England.
