Notice of Tentative Approval and Opportunity for Public Comment 
and Public Hearing for Public Water System Supervision Program Revision 
for West Virginia

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of approval and solicitation of requests for public 
hearing.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the State of West Virginia is 
revising its approved Public Water System Supervision Program. West 
Virginia has adopted drinking water regulations for the Revised Total 
Coliform Rule. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has 
determined that West Virginia's Revised Total Coliform Rule meets all 
minimum federal requirements, and that it is no less stringent than the 
corresponding federal regulation. Therefore, EPA has tentatively 
decided to approve the State program revisions.

DATES: Comments or a public hearing must be submitted by February 10, 
2017. This determination shall become final and effective on February 
10, 2017 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. All documents relating to this 
determination are available for inspection between the hours of 8:00

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: All interested parties are invited to submit 
written comments on this determination and may request a hearing. All 
comments will be considered, and if necessary EPA will issue a 
response. Frivolous or insubstantial requests for a hearing will be 
denied by the Regional Administrator. If a substantial request for a 
public hearing is made by February 10, 2017, a public hearing will be 
held. A request for public hearing shall include the following: (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
