Public Water System Supervision Program Revision for the State of
Texas
AGENCY: United States 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 Program. Texas has adopted
three EPA drinking water rules, namely the: (1) Long Term 2 Enhanced
Surface Water Treatment Rule (LT2), (2) the Stage 2 Disinfectants and
Disinfection Byproducts Rule (DBP2), and (3) the Public Notification
Rule minor revisions (PN/MR). EPA has determined that the proposed LT2,
DBP2, and the PN/MRs submitted by Texas are no less stringent than the
[[Page 9048]]
corresponding federal regulations. Therefore, EPA intends to approve
this program revision.
DATES: All interested parties may request a public hearing. A request
for a public hearing must be submitted by March 11, 2013 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 March 11, 2013, 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 March
11, 2013. 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.
