federal Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) pertaining to administrative 
penalty authority. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has 
determined that these revisions by the State are no less stringent than 
the corresponding Federal regulations and otherwise meet applicable

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background. EPA approved the State's 
original application for PWSSP primary enforcement authority which, 
following the public notice period, became effective on October 20, 
1977 (42 FR 47244, no request for public hearing received). EPA 
subsequently approved and finalized revisions to Hawaii's PWSSP on the 
following dates: May 6, 1993 (58 FR 17892); July 19, 1993 (58 FR 
33442); September 29, 1993 (58 FR 45491); March 13, 1995 (60 FR 7962); 
and May 23, 1996 (61 FR 17892).
    Public Process. Any interested party may submit written comments on 
this determination and/or request a public hearing. All comments will 
be considered and, if necessary, EPA will issue a response. A request 
for a public hearing and/or comments must be submitted by August 31, 
2015, to the Regional Administrator at the EPA Region 9 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 August 31, 2015, 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 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,

[[Page 45657]]

the signature of a responsible official of the organization or other 
entity.
    If EPA Region 9 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, and if no comments are received which cause 
EPA to modify its tentative approval, this determination shall become 
final and effective on August 31, 2015, and no further public notice 
will be issued.

    Authority: Section 1413 of the Safe Drinking Water Act, as 
amended, 42 U.S.C. 3006-2 (1996), and 40 CFR part 142 of the 
National Primary Drinking Water Regulations.

    Dated: July 20, 2015.
