Public Water Supervision Program Revision for the State of 
Tennessee


AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).


ACTION: Notice of tentative approval.


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


SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the State of Tennessee is revising 
its approved Public Water System Supervision Program. Tennessee has 
adopted drinking water regulations which incorporate the requirements 
of the Filter Backwash Recovery Rule and the Radionuclides Rule. EPA 
has determined that these revisions are no less stringent than the 
corresponding Federal regulations. Therefore, EPA intends to approve 
this State program revision.
    All interested parties may request a public hearing. A request for 
a public hearing must be submitted by January 16, 2003 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 
January 16, 2003, 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 January 16, 2003. 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; (3) The 
signature of the individual making the request, or, if the request is 
made on the 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 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday 
through Friday,
