Public Water System Supervision Program Revision for the State of
Arkansas
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of tentative approval.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the State of Arkansas is revising
its approved Public Water System Supervision Program. Arkansas has
adopted an Interim Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule to improve
control of microbial pathogens in drinking water, including
specifically the protozoan Cryptosporidium, and a Stage 1 Disinfectant/
Disinfection Byproducts Rule, setting new requirements to limit the
formation of chemical disinfectant byproducts in drinking water. EPA
has determined
[[Page 10916]]
that these revisions are no less stringent than the corresponding
federal regulations. Therefore, EPA intends to approve these program
revisions.
All interested parties may request a public hearing. A request for
a public hearing must be submitted by April 10, 2002, 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 April 10, 2002, 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 April 10, 2002. 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.
