Public Water Supply Supervision Program; Program Revision for the
State of Idaho

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of Tentative Approval.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the State of Idaho has revised its
approved State Public Water Supply Supervision (PWSS) Primacy Program.
Idaho has revised its PWSS program with respect to administrative
penalty authority, has adopted a revised definition of public water
system, and has adopted drinking water regulations requiring consumer
confidence reports from all community water systems. Idaho has also
adopted regulations for the Interim Enhanced Surface Water Treatment
Rule, the Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, the
Lead and Copper Rule Minor Revisions, the Public Notification Rule, the
Radionuclides Rule, the Filter Backwash Recycling Rule, the Long Term 1
Enhanced 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 to approve
these State program revisions. By approving these rules, EPA does not
intend to affect the rights of Federally recognized Indian tribes
within ``Indian country'' as defined by 18 U.S.C. 1151, nor does it
intend to limit existing rights of the State of Idaho.
    All interested parties may request a public hearing. A request for
a public hearing must be submitted by August 18, 2006 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
August 18, 2006, 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 August 18, 2006.
    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; (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.

ADDRESSES: All documents relating to this determination are available
for inspection between the hours of 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through
Friday, at the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality, 1410 North
Hilton, Boise, Idaho 83706 and between the hours of 9 a.m.-12 and 1
p.m.-2:30 p.m. at the EPA Region 10 Library, 1200 Sixth Avenue,
Seattle, Washington 98101.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Wendy Marshall, EPA Region 10,
Drinking Water Unit, at the Seattle address given above; telephone

Water Regulations.
