Public Water System Supervision Program Revisions 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 in the
process of revising their approved Public Water System Supervision
(PWSS) program to meet the requirements of the Safe Drinking Water Act
(SDWA). Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation has
adopted drinking water regulations for the Long Term 2 Surface Water
Treatment and the Stage 2 Disinfection By-Products Rules. EPA has
determined that these revisions are no less stringent than the
corresponding federal regulations. Therefore, EPA intends to approve
Tennessee's PWSS revision for these rules.
DATES: All interested parties may request a public hearing and/or
submit comments within thirty (30) days of the Federal Register
publication date to the Regional Administrator at the address shown
below. Frivolous or insubstantial requests for a public hearing may be
denied by the Regional Administrator. However, if a substantial request
for a public hearing is made within the 30 days, a public hearing will
be held. If no timely and appropriate request is received, and the
Regional Administrator does not elect to hold a hearing on his/her own
motion, this determination shall become final and effective 30 days
after the publication of this notice.
ADDRESSES: All documents relating to this determination are available
for inspection between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday
through Friday, excluding federal holidays, at U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, Region 4, Water Management Division, Ground Water
and Drinking Water Branch, Drinking Water Section, 61 Forsyth Street,
SW., Atlanta, GA 30303. For documents specific to this State: Tennessee
Department of Environment and Conservation, Division of Water Supply,
401 Church Street, 6th Floor L&C Tower, Nashville, TN 37243. You may

provided, unless the comment includes information claimed to be
Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information whose
disclosure is restricted by statute. Do not submit through http://
www.regulations.gov or e-mail information that you consider to be CBI

disk or CD-ROM you submit. If EPA cannot read your comment due to
technical difficulties and cannot contact you for clarification, EPA
may not be able to consider your comment. Electronic files should avoid
the use of special characters, any form of encryption, and be free of
any defects or viruses. For additional information about EPA's public
docket visit the EPA Docket Center homepage at http://www.epa.gov/
