Public Water System Supervision Program Revision for the State of 
Texas

AGENCY: United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of tentative approval.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the State of Texas is revising its 
approved Public Water System Supervision Program. Texas has adopted the 
Lead and Copper Rule (LCR) Short-Term Revisions. EPA has determined 
that the proposed LCR

[[Page 35677]]

Short-Term Revision submitted by Texas is no less stringent than the 
corresponding federal regulation. Therefore, EPA intends to approve the 
program revision.

DATES: All interested parties may request a public hearing. A request 
for a public hearing must be submitted by July 16, 2012 to the Regional 
Administrator at the EPA Region 6 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 July 16, 2012, 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 July 16, 2012. 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 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.
