SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA approved Colorado’s application for assuming primary enforcement authority for the PWSS Program, pursuant to section 1413 of SDWA, 42 U.S.C. 300g–2, and 40 CFR part 142. CDPHE administers Colorado’s PWSS Program. A. Why are revisions to State programs necessary? States with primary PWSS enforcement authority must comply with the requirements of 40 CFR part 142 for maintaining primacy. They must adopt regulations that are at least as stringent as the NPDWRs at 40 CFR parts 141 and 142, as well as adopt all new and revised NPDWRs in order to retain primacy (40 CFR 142.12(a)). On October 10, 2007, EPA promulgated the Lead and Copper Rule Short Term Regulatory Revisions and by this action the State is following procedures to attain primacy. B. How does today’s action affect Indian country in Colorado? Colorado is not authorized to carry out its PWSS Program in ‘‘Indian country’’. This includes, but is not limited to, land within the formal Indian Reservations within or abutting the State of Colorado, including the Southern Ute Indian Reservation and the Ute Mountain Ute Indian Reservation, any land held in trust by the United States for an Indian tribe, and any other areas which are ‘‘Indian country’’ within the meaning of 18 U.S.C. 1151. C. Requesting a Hearing Any request for a public hearing shall include: (1) The name, address, and telephone number of the individual, organization, or other entity requesting a hearing; (2) a brief statement of the requester’s interest in the RA’s determination and of information that he/she intends to submit at such hearing; and (3) the signature of the requester or responsible official, if made PO 00000 Frm 00044 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 on behalf of an organization or other entity.
