FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Luis Garcia-Bakarich, EPA Region 9, Drinking Water Section via telephone at (415) 972–3237 or via email address at garcia-bakarich.luis@epa.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background. EPA approved California’s initial application for primary enforcement authority (‘‘primacy’’) of drinking water systems on June 9, 1978 (43 FR 25180). Since initial primacy approval, EPA has approved various revisions to California’s primacy program. For the revision covered by this action, EPA promulgated rules incorporating the APA as a requirement of primacy at 40 CFR 142.10(f) on April 28, 1998 (63 FR 23362) to codify the requirements of Section 1413(a)(7) of SDWA. Section 1413(a)(7) of SDWA requires that, as a condition of primacy, states have administrative penalty authority for all violations of their approved primacy program, unless prohibited by the state constitution. Specifically, the APA requires that states must have the authority to impose administrative penalties on public water systems (PWSs) serving a population greater than 10,000 individuals in an amount that is not less than $1,000 per day per violation. For PWSs serving a population of 10,000 individuals or less, E:\FR\FM\30NON1.SGM 30NON1 lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 227 / Tuesday, November 30, 2021 / Notices states must have the authority to impose an administrative penalty that is ‘‘adequate to ensure compliance.’’ EPA has determined that the APA requirements were adopted into the California Health and Safety Code (HSC) Section 116650 in a manner that California’s statute is comparable to and no less stringent than the federal requirements. EPA has also determined that California’s program revision request meets all of the regulatory requirements for approval, as set forth in 40 CFR 142.12, including a side-byside comparison of the federal requirements demonstrating the corresponding state authorities, a review of the requirements contained in 40 CFR 142.10 necessary for states to attain and retain primary enforcement responsibility, and a statement by the California Attorney General certifying that California’s laws and regulations to carry out the program revisions were duly adopted and are enforceable. The Attorney General’s statement also affirms that there are no environmental audit privilege and immunity laws that would impact California’s ability to implement or enforce the California laws and regulations pertaining to the program revision. Therefore, EPA approves this revision of California’s approved State primacy program.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background. EPA approved California's 
initial application for primary enforcement authority (``primacy'') of 
drinking water systems on June 9, 1978 (43 FR 25180). Since initial 
primacy approval, EPA has approved various revisions to California's 
primacy program. For the revision covered by this action, EPA 
promulgated rules incorporating the APA as a requirement of primacy at 
40 CFR 142.10(f) on April 28, 1998 (63 FR 23362) to codify the 
requirements of Section 1413(a)(7) of SDWA. Section 1413(a)(7) of SDWA 
requires that, as a condition of primacy, states have administrative 
penalty authority for all violations of their approved primacy program, 
unless prohibited by the state constitution. Specifically, the APA 
requires that states must have the authority to impose administrative 
penalties on public water systems (PWSs) serving a population greater 
than 10,000 individuals in an amount that is not less than $1,000 per 
day per violation. For PWSs serving a population of 10,000 individuals 
or less,

states must have the authority to impose an administrative penalty that 
is ``adequate to ensure compliance.'' EPA has determined that the APA 
requirements were adopted into the California Health and Safety Code 
(HSC) Section 116650 in a manner that California's statute is 
comparable to and no less stringent than the federal requirements. EPA 
has also determined that California's program revision request meets 
all of the regulatory requirements for approval, as set forth in 40 CFR 
142.12, including a side-by-side comparison of the federal requirements 
demonstrating the corresponding state authorities, a review of the 
requirements contained in 40 CFR 142.10 necessary for states to attain 
and retain primary enforcement responsibility, and a statement by the 
California Attorney General certifying that California's laws and 
regulations to carry out the program revisions were duly adopted and 
are enforceable. The Attorney General's statement also affirms that 
there are no environmental audit privilege and immunity laws that would 
impact California's ability to implement or enforce the California laws 
and regulations pertaining to the program revision. Therefore, EPA 
approves this revision of California's approved State primacy program.

California's program revision request, is available by email by 
submitting a request to the following email address: [email protected]. Please note ``Technical Support Document'' in the 
subject line of the email.
    Public Process. Any interested person may request a public hearing 
on this determination. A request for a public hearing must be received

EPA Region 9, via the following email address: [email protected] or 
contact the EPA Region 9 contact person listed above in this notice by 
telephone if you do not have access to email. Please note ``State 
Program Revision Determination'' in the subject line of the email. The 
Regional Administrator may deny frivolous or insubstantial requests for 
a hearing. If a timely request for a public hearing is made, then EPA 
Region 9 may hold a public hearing. Any request for a public hearing 
shall include the following information: 1. The name, address, and
