[FRL-9978-84--Region 9]
Public Water System Supervision Program Revision for the State of
Nevada
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of tentative approval.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the State of Nevada revised its
approved Public Water System Supervision Program (PWSSP) under the
federal Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) by adopting the Ground Water
Rule, the Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule, the
Revised Total Coliform Rule, and the Stage 2 Disinfectants and
Disinfection Byproducts Rule. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
has determined that these revisions by the State of Nevada are no less
stringent than the corresponding Federal regulations and otherwise meet
applicable SDWA primacy requirements. Therefore, EPA intends to approve
these revisions to the State of Nevada's PWSSP.
DATES: Request for a public hearing must be received on or before July
9, 2018.
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, except official State holidays and official Federal

Protection, Admin Office, 901 South Stewart Street, Suite 4001, Carson

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
EPA approved the State of Nevada's original application for PWSSP
primary enforcement authority which, following the public notice
period, became effective on February 27, 1978 (43 FR 8030). EPA has
approved various revisions to Nevada's primacy program since then.
Public Process
Any interested party may request a public hearing on this
determination. A request for a public hearing must be submitted by July
9, 2018, to the Regional Administrator at the EPA Region 9 address
shown above. 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 and a brief statement of the 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 other entity, the signature of
a responsible official of the organization or other entity. The
Regional Administrator may deny frivolous or insubstantial requests for
a hearing. If a valid request for a public hearing is made within the
requested timeframe, a public hearing will be held and a notice of such
hearing will be given in the Federal Register and a newspaper of
general circulation.
If EPA Region 9 does not receive a timely and appropriate request
for a hearing and the Regional Administrator does not elect to hold a
hearing, this determination shall become final and effective on July 9,
2018, and no further public notice will be issued.
