AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of tentative approval.

revising its approved Public Water System Supervision Program.
Mississippi has adopted drinking water regulations for
[[Page 11551]]
Interim Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule, Disinfectant/
Disinfection Byproducts Rule and Public Notification 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 April 10, 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 April
10, 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 April 10, 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, and (3) 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.
