SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given in accordance with the provision of
section 1413 of the Safe Drinking Water Act as amended, and the rules
governing National Primary Drinking Water Regulations Implementation
that the State of West Virginia has revised its approved Public Water
System Supervision Program. West Virginia has adopted a Radionuclides
Rule to establish a new maximum contaminant level (MCL) for uranium and
revise monitoring requirements. EPA has determined that these revisions
are no less stringent than the corresponding Federal regulations.
Therefore, EPA has decided to tentatively approve these program
revisions. All interested parties are invited to submit written
comments on this determination and may request a public hearing.
DATES: Comments or a request for a public hearing must be submitted by
February 17, 2004. This determination shall become effective on
February 17, 2004, 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, and if no comments are received which cause
EPA to modify its tentative approval.
ADDRESSES: Comments or a request for a public hearing must be submitted
to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region III, 1650 Arch
Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103-2029. Comments may also be submitted
