SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background. EPA approved Guam’s initial application for primary enforcement authority (‘‘primacy’’) of drinking water systems on August 10, 1978 (43 FR 35534). Since initial primacy approval, EPA has approved various revisions to Guam’s primacy program. For the revision covered by this action, EPA promulgated the RTCR at 40 CFR subpart Y on February 26, 2014 (79 FR 10665). The RTCR revises the 1989 Total Coliform Rule and is intended to improve public health protection through the reduction of potential pathways of entry for fecal contamination into the distribution system. EPA has determined that Guam has adopted into law, RTCR requirements that are comparable to and no less stringent than the federal requirements. EPA has also determined that Guam’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 Guam authorities, additional materials to support special primacy requirements of 40 CFR 142.16, a review of the requirements contained in 40 CFR 142.10 necessary for Guam to attain and retain primary enforcement responsibility, and a statement by the Guam Attorney General certifying that Guam’s laws and regulations to carry out the program revision 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 Guam’s ability to implement or enforce Guam’s laws and regulations pertaining to the program revision. Therefore, EPA approves this revision of Guam’s approved primacy program. The Technical Support Document, which provides EPA’s analysis of Guam’s program revision request, is available by submitting a request to the following email address: R9dw-program@epa.gov. Please note ‘‘Technical Support Document’’ in the subject line of the email. Public Process. Any interested person may request a public hearing on this VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:31 Aug 29, 2023 Jkt 259001 determination.

Please note ‘‘Guam 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 telephone number of the individual, organization, or other entity requesting a hearing; 2.
