SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The EPA is hereby giving notice that the 
State of Missouri is revising its approved Public Water Supply

Resources. The Missouri Department of Natural Resources revised their 
program by incorporating the following EPA National Primary Drinking 
Water Regulation: Ground Water Rule (November 8, 2006, 71 FR 65574). 
EPA has reviewed the application and determined that the revisions are 
no less stringent than the corresponding Federal regulations and that 
the State of Missouri continues to meet all requirements for primary 
enforcement responsibility as specified in 40 CFR 142.10. Therefore, 
EPA intends to approve these program revisions.
