effects determinations for endangered

including draft biological opinions and
potential product restrictions consistent

that you include your name and other
contact information in the body of your
comment and with any disk or CD–ROM
you submit. If EPA cannot read your

Public Water System Supervision
Program Approval for the State of
Wisconsin
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of tentative approval.
AGENCY:
Notice is hereby given that
the State of Wisconsin submitted a
primacy application for its approved
Public Water System Supervision
Program. Wisconsin is applying its
Interim Enhanced Surface Water
Treatment Regulations to all Wisconsin
water systems that use surface water
and ground water under the influence of
surface water as a source, thereby
satisfying the requirements of the LongTerm 1 Enhanced Surface Water
Treatment Rule.
EPA has determined that the State
regulations and procedures submitted
by the State to EPA for review are no
less stringent than the corresponding
Federal regulations. Therefore, EPA
intends to award primacy to Wisconsin
for Long-Term 1 Enhanced Surface
Water Treatment Rule implementation.

This approval action does not extend to
public water systems (PWSs) in Indian
Country, as the term is defined in 18
U.S.C. 1151. By approving these rules,
EPA does not intend to affect the rights
of Federally recognized Indian Tribes in
Wisconsin, nor does it intend to limit
existing rights of the State of Wisconsin.
Any interested party may request a
public hearing. A request for a public
hearing must be submitted by January
21, 2011, to the Regional Administrator
at the EPA Region 5 address shown
below. The Regional Administrator may
deny frivolous or insubstantial requests
for a hearing. However, if a substantial
request for a public hearing is made by
January 21, 2011, EPA Region 5 will
hold a public hearing. If EPA Region 5
does not receive a timely and
appropriate request for a hearing and
the Regional Administrator does not
elect to hold a hearing on his own
motion, this determination shall become
final and effective on January 21, 2011.
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

request is made on behalf of an
organization or other entity, the
