Download as PDF jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 245 / Friday, December 20, 2019 / Notices language sufficient to meet the federal requirements. These are the primacy revisions that the EPA Region 9 intends to approve as part of Arizona’s PWSS Program. In 2012, Arizona enacted an environmental audit law which had to be evaluated as part of EPA’s approval of these revisions. In order to properly evaluate a request for approval, EPA requires a State Attorney General to certify that the State’s environmental audit law does not affect its ability to implement the SDWA program. EPA applies the criteria outlined in its ‘‘Statement of Principles Effect of State Audit Immunity/Privilege Laws on Enforcement Authority for Federal Programs’’ memo issued on February 14, 1997 in determining whether states with audit laws have retained adequate enforcement authority. This Statement of Principles memo provides that, if provisions of state law are ambiguous, it is important for EPA to obtain an opinion from the State Attorney General interpreting the law as meeting specific federal requirements and, if the law cannot be so interpreted, changes to state law may be necessary to obtain federal program approval. In this case, the Arizona Attorney General’s office submitted a legal opinion to EPA analyzing the audit law and concluding that it does not impede Arizona’s ability to implement and enforce its PWSS Program. EPA finds this legal opinion sufficient to approve the PWSS Program revisions. Public Process. Any interested party may request a public hearing on this determination. A request for a public hearing must be submitted by January 21, 2020, to the Regional Administrator of EPA Region 9, to the address shown above. The Regional Administrator may deny frivolous or insubstantial requests for a hearing. If a substantial request for a public hearing is made by January 21, 2020, EPA Region 9 will hold a public hearing. Any request for a public hearing shall include the following information: 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 or organization’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 3. 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. If EPA Region 9 does not receive a timely and substantive request for a VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:30 Dec 19, 2019 Jkt 250001 hearing and the Regional Administrator does not elect to hold a hearing on his own motion on the determination at issue in this notice, the EPA’s approval shall become final and effective on January 21, 2020, and no further public notice will be issued.

Honeywell, which agrees to pay EPA $11,600,000, is the only party to the Settlement Agreement. EPA intends to recover its remaining costs from other responsible parties in the future; however, because EPA is not recovering one hundred percent of its past costs at this time, this Settlement Agreement represents a compromise of EPA’s costs.

ACTION: Notice and opportunity for public comment. AGENCY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving a variance under the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) for Denver Water. This variance will allow Denver Water to implement a Lead Reduction Program Plan (LRPP) as an alternative to using orthophosphate as a corrosion control treatment to reduce lead concentrations in drinking water. Denver Water’s LRPP is expected to be as protective in lowering lead levels as the requirements under the Lead and Copper Rule (LCR). This variance is effective for an initial period of three years and may be extended if Denver Water demonstrates the effectiveness of this alternative approach. Concurrent with this action, the EPA is asking for comments on the potential criteria for how the Agency will determine whether to extend this variance for up to an additional twelve years. The EPA is accepting public comments on these criteria and on the EPA’s interpretation of the statutory standard for future variance requests, as described under SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION. DATES: All public comments on the criteria must be received on or before January 21, 2020. ADDRESSES: All comments can be submitted directly through docket number EPA–R08–OW–2019–0404 available at www.regulations.gov.
