Public Water System 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 for the Long Term 1 Surface Water 
Treatment Rule and the Arsenic Rule. EPA has determined that these 
revisions are no less stringent than the corresponding federal 
regulations. Therefore, EPA intends on approving this State program 
revision.
    All interested parties may request a public hearing. A request for 
a public hearing must be submitted by October 27, 2005 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 
October 27, 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 October 27, 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: Tennessee Department of 
Environment and Conservation, Division of Water Supply, 401 Church 
Street, 6th Floor, L&C Tower, Nashville, Tennessee 37219-5404 or at the 
Environmental Protection Agency, Region 4, Drinking Water Section, 61 
Forsyth Street SW, Atlanta, Georgia 30303.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Amy Newbold, EPA Region 4, Drinking 
Water Section at the Atlanta address given above or at telephone (404)

amended (1996), and 40 CFR part 142.
