Public Water System Supervision Program Revision for the State of 
Texas

AGENCY: United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of tentative approval.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the State of Texas is revising its 
approved Public Water System Supervision Program. Texas has adopted the 
Arsenic 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 these program revisions.
    All interested parties may request a public hearing. A request for 
a public hearing must be submitted by September 12, 2005, 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 September 12, 2005, 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 
September 12, 2005. 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:
