Public Water Supply Supervision Program; Program Revision for the 
State of Washington

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

[[Page 9684]] ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the State of Washington is 
revising its approved State Public Water Supply Supervision Primacy 
Program. Washington has adopted drinking water regulations for certain 
inorganic, volatile organic and synthetic organic chemicals, 
collectively known as the Phase II and Phase V contaminants, and for 
lead and copper. EPA has determined that these State program revisions 
are no less stringent than the corresponding Federal regulations. 
Therefore, EPA has tentatively decided to approve these State program 
revisions. By approving Washington's Phase II/V Contaminants Rule and 
its Lead and Copper Rule, EPA does not intend to affect the rights of 
Federally recognized Indian tribes within ``Indian Country,'' as 
defined in 18 U.S.C. 1151, nor does it intend to limit existing rights 
of the State of Washington.
    All interested parties may request a public hearing. A request for 
public hearing must be submitted by March 23, 1995 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 March 
23, 1995, 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 23, 1995.
    Any request for a public hearing shall include the following: (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 of 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.

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:

Department of Health (DOH), Division of Drinking Water, Airdustrial
