The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has determined that these revisions are no less stringent than the corresponding Federal regulations and otherwise meet applicable SDWA primacy requirements. Therefore, EPA intends to approve the stated revisions to the State’s PWSS Program. DATES: A request for a public hearing must be received on or before April 12, 2021. ADDRESSES: All documents relating to this determination are available for inspection between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, at the following office: Arizona Department of Environmental Quality, Records Center, 1110 West Washington Street, Phoenix, AZ 85007; or please contact the person identified in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section for additional availability information.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background. The EPA approved the State of Arizona’s initial application for SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:04 Mar 11, 2021 Jkt 253001 PWSS Program primary enforcement authority (‘‘primacy’’), which became effective on August 25, 1978 (43 FR 38083). States with primacy must adopt and submit for EPA approval all new and revised national primary drinking water regulations. Since initial approval, EPA has approved various revisions to Arizona’s PWSS Program. For the revisions covered by this action, the EPA promulgated the Lead and Copper Rule (LCR) on June 7, 1991 (56 FR 26460). EPA modified this rule with technical amendments that were published in the Federal Register on July 15, 1991 (56 FR 32113), June 29, 1992 (57 FR 28786), and June 30, 1994 (59 FR 33860). The EPA proposed the LCR–MR on April 12, 1996 (60 FR 16348) and finalized the LCR–MR on January 12, 2000 (65 FR 1949). The EPA proposed the LCR–STR on July 18, 2006 (71 FR 40828) and published the final LCR–STR on October 10, 2007 (72 FR 57782). EPA has determined that the LCR, LCR–MR and LCR–STR requirements were incorporated by reference into the Arizona Administrative Code (AAC) Title 18, Chapter 4, Article 1 and AAC Title 9, Chapter 14, Article 1, in a manner that Arizona’s regulations are comparable to and no less stringent than federal requirements for these programs. Therefore, EPA intends to approve these revisions as part of the State’s PWSS Program. Public Process. Any interested party may request a public hearing on this determination.
