AGENCY: In accordance with the provisions of section 1413 of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), 42 U.S.C. 300g–2, and 40 CFR 142.13, public notice is hereby given that the State of Colorado has revised its Public Water System Supervision (PWSS) Primacy Program by adopting Federal regulations for the Lead and Copper Rule Short Term Regulatory Revisions which correspond to the National Primary Drinking Water Regulations (NPDWR) in 40 CFR part 141 and 142. The EPA has completed its review of these revisions in accordance with SDWA, and proposes to approve Colorado’s primacy revisions for the above stated Rules. Today’s approval action does not extend to public water systems in Indian country, as defined in 18 U.S.C. 1151. Please see SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION, Item B. DATES: Any member of the public may request a public hearing on this determination by December 15, 2010. Please see SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION, Item C, for details. Should no timely and appropriate request for a hearing be received, and the Regional Administrator (RA) does not elect to hold a hearing on his own motion, this determination shall become effective December 15, 2010. If a hearing is granted, then this determination shall not become effective until such time following the hearing, as the RA issues an order affirming or rescinding this action. ADDRESSES: Requests for a public hearing shall be addressed to: James B. srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:04 Nov 12, 2010 Jkt 223001 Martin, Regional Administrator, c/o Breann Bockstahler (8P–W–DW), U.S. EPA, Region 8, 1595 Wynkoop Street, Denver, CO 80202–1129. All documents relating to this determination are available for inspection at the following locations: (1) US EPA, Region 8, Drinking Water Program, 1595 Wynkoop Street, Denver, CO 80202–1129, (2) Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE), Water Quality Control Division, 4300 Cherry Creek Drive South, Denver, CO 80246–1530. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Breann Bockstahler at 303–312–6034. 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. Notice of any hearing shall be given not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the time scheduled for the hearing and will be made by the RA in the Federal Register and newspapers of general circulation in the State. A notice will also be sent to both the person(s) requesting the hearing and the State. The hearing notice will include a statement of purpose, information regarding time and location, and the address and telephone number where interested persons may obtain further information. The RA will issue a final determination upon review of the hearing record. Frivolous or insubstantial requests for a hearing may be denied by the RA. However, if a substantial request is made within thirty (30) days after this notice, a public hearing will be held. Please bring this notice to the attention of any persons known by you to have an interest in this determination. Dated: April 15, 2010. Carol Rushin, Deputy Regional Administrator, Region 8.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:04 Nov 12, 2010 Jkt 223001 69663 I. Information About IRIS EPA’s IRIS is a human health assessment program that evaluates quantitative and qualitative risk information on effects that may result from exposure to chemical substances found in the environment. Through the IRIS Program, EPA provides the highest quality science-based human health assessments to support the Agency’s regulatory activities. The IRIS database contains information for more than 550 chemical substances that can be used to support the first two steps (hazard identification and dose-response evaluation) of the risk assessment process. When supported by available data, IRIS provides oral reference doses (RfDs) and inhalation reference concentrations (RfCs) for chronic noncancer health effects and cancer assessments. Combined with specific exposure information, government and private entities use IRIS to help characterize public health risks of chemical substances in a site-specific situation and thereby support risk management decisions designed to protect public health. The IRIS cumulative assessment will address the specific recommendations presented in the NAS report on cumulative risk for phthalates and expand the discussion to other approaches that may also be applicable. The 2008 NAS report recommended that: Æ EPA group chemicals that cause common adverse outcomes and not focus exclusively on structural similarity or on similar mechanisms of action, and Æ Phthalates and other agents that cause androgen insufficiency or block androgen-receptor signaling, and are thus capable of inducing effects that characterize components of the phthalate syndrome, should be considered in a cumulative risk assessment. In response to NAS recommendations, EPA is conducting research to: (1) Determine whether prenatal exposures to phthalates are associated with adverse effects in male and female offspring; (2) determine how phthalates interact in mixtures with other phthalates, toxic substances, and pesticides to induce adverse effects, in particular disruption of reproductive development in males and females; and (3) determine approaches to integrate new data on multiple phthalates into a cumulative mixtures assessment.
