Public Water System Supervision Program Revisions for the State 
of Wisconsin

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of tentative approval.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the State of Wisconsin is revising 
its approved Public Water System Supervision Program. Wisconsin has: 
Revised its definition of ``public water system'; revised its 
administrative penalty authority for public water systems; adopted the 
Consumer Confidence Report Rule for all community water systems; 
adopted the Interim Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule, which will 
help improve control of microbial pathogens in drinking water; and 
adopted the Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, 
which will set new requirements to limit the formation of chemical 
disinfection byproducts in drinking water.
    EPA has determined that these revisions are no less stringent than 
the corresponding federal regulations. Therefore, EPA intends to 
approve these program revisions.
    All interested parties may request a public hearing. A request for 
a public hearing must be submitted by November 17, 2004, to the Acting 
Regional Administrator at the EPA Region 5 address shown below. 
Frivolous or insubstantial requests for a hearing may be denied by the 
Acting Regional Administrator. However, if a substantial request for a 
public hearing is made by November 17, 2004, a public hearing will be 
held.
    If no timely and appropriate request for a hearing is received and 
the Acting Regional Administrator does not elect to hold a hearing on 
his own motion, this determination shall become final and effective on 
November 17, 2004. 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 Acting 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 7:45 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday 
through Friday, at the following offices: Wisconsin Department of 
Natural Resources, DG-2, 2nd Floor, 101 South Webster, P.O. Box 7921,
