Public Water System Supervision Program Revision for the State of 
Florida

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of tentative approval.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the State of Florida is revising 
its approved Public Water System Supervision Program. Florida has 
adopted the following rules: Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection 
Byproducts Rule, Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule, and 
Ground Water Rule. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has 
determined that Florida's rules are no less stringent than the 
corresponding federal regulations. Therefore, EPA is tentatively 
approving this revision to the State of Florida's Public Water System 
Supervision Program.

DATES: Any interested person may request a public hearing. A request 
for a public hearing must be submitted by August 29, 2016, to the 
Regional Administrator at the EPA Region 4 address shown below. The 
Regional Administrator may deny frivolous or insubstantial requests for 
a hearing. However, if a substantial request for a public hearing is 
made by August 29, 2016, a public hearing will be held. If no timely 
and appropriate request for a hearing is received and the Regional 
Administrator does not elect to hold a hearing on her own motion, this 
tentative approval shall become final and effective on August 29, 2016. 
Any request for a public hearing shall include the following 
information: The name, address, and telephone number of the individual, 
organization, or other entity requesting a hearing; 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 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.

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 offices: Florida Department of 
Environmental Protection, Drinking Water and Aquifer Protection 
Program, 2600 Blair Stone Road, Tallahassee, Florida 32399; and the 
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 4, Drinking Water Section, 
61 Forsyth Street SW., Atlanta, Georgia 30303.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dale Froneberger, EPA Region 4, 
Drinking Water Section, by mail at the Atlanta address given above, by 
telephone at (404) 562-9446, or by email at [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 20, 2013, the State of Florida 
submitted requests that EPA Region 4 approve a revision to the State's 
Safe Drinking Water Act Public Water System Supervision Program to 
include the authority to implement and enforce the Stage 2 
Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, the Long Term 2 
Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule, and the Ground Water Rule. For 
the requests to be approved, EPA must find the state rules codified at 
Chapters 62-550 and 62-560, F.A.C., to be no less stringent than the 
federal rules codified at 40 CFR part 141, subpart A--General; 40 CFR 
part 141, subpart C--Monitoring and Analytical Requirements; 40 CFR 
part 141, subpart D--Reporting and Recordkeeping; 40 CFR part 141, 
subpart G--Maximum Contaminant Levels and Maximum Residual Disinfectant 
Levels; 40 CFR part 141, subpart L--Disinfectant Residuals, 
Disinfection Byproducts, and Disinfection Byproduct Precursors; 40 CFR 
part 141, subpart O--Consumer Confidence Reports; 40 CFR part 141, 
subpart Q--Public Notification of Drinking Water Violations; 40 CFR 
part 141, subpart S--Ground Water Rule; 40 CFR part 141, subpart U--
Initial Distribution System Evaluations; 40 CFR part 141, subpart V--
Stage 2 Disinfection Byproducts Requirements; and 40 CFR part 141, 
subpart W--Enhanced Treatment for Cryptosporidium. EPA reviewed the 
applications using the federal statutory provisions (Section 1413 of 
the Safe Drinking Water Act), federal regulations (at 40 CFR part 142), 
state regulations, rule crosswalks, and EPA regulatory guidance to 
determine whether the requests for revision are approvable. EPA 
determined that the Florida regulations are no less stringent than the 
corresponding federal regulations and is tentatively approving this 
revision. If EPA does not receive a timely and appropriate request for 
a hearing and the Regional Administrator does not elect to hold a 
hearing on her own motion, this approval will become final and 
effective on August 29, 2016.

    Authority: Section 1413 of the Safe Drinking Water Act, as 
amended (1996), and 40 CFR part 142.

    Dated: June 1, 2016.
