Public Water System Supervision Program Revision for the State of
Louisiana
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of tentative approval.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the State of Louisiana is revising
its approved Public Water System Supervision Program. Louisiana has
revised its administrative penalty authority, revised its definition
for public water system, and adopted a consumer confidence report rule
for all community water systems. EPA has determined 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 July 18, 2003, 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 July 18, 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 July 18, 2003. 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.
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, at the following offices: Louisiana Department of
Health and Hospitals, Engineering Services, Safe Drinking Water
Program, 6867 Bluebonnet Drive, Baton Rouge, LA 70810 and the United
States Environmental Protection Agency, Region 6, Drinking Water

Regulations).
Dated: June 9, 2003.
