Public Water System Supervision Program Revision for the State of Hawaii Environmental Protection Agency EPA.
ACTION: Notice of tentative approval.
AGENCY:

Notice is hereby given that the State of Hawaii State revised its Public Water System Supervision PWSS Program under the federal Safe Drinking Water Act SDWA by adopting regulations to implement the federal Radionuclides Rule. The Environmental Protection Agency EPA
has determined that the States revisions are no less stringent than the corresponding Federal regulations and otherwise meet applicable SDWA
primacy requirements. Therefore, EPA
intends to approve the stated revisions as part of the States PWSS Program.
DATES: A request for a public hearing must be received or postmarked before September 13, 2021.
ADDRESSES: All documents relating to this determination are available for inspection online at http
health.hawaii.gov/sdwb/public-notices/.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background. EPA approved the States initial application for PWSS Program primary enforcement authority primacy on October 20, 1977 42 FR
47244. Since initial approval, EPA has approved various revisions to Hawaiis PWSS Program. For the revisions covered by this action, the EPA revised the Radionuclides Rule on December 7, 2000 66 FR 76708, which had been in effect since 1977. The revisions set new monitoring provisions for community water systems; retain the existing maximum contaminant levels MCLs for combined radium-226 and radium228, gross alpha particle radioactivity, and beta particle and photon activity;
and regulate uranium for the first time.
EPA has determined that the Radionuclides Rule was adopted verbatim into the Hawaii Administrative Rules HAR, Title 11, Chapter 20, in a manner that Hawaiis regulations are comparable to and no less stringent than federal requirements. EPA has also determined that the States primacy revision application 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 and the corresponding State authorities, additional materials to support special primacy requirements of 40 CFR 142.16, and a statement by the Hawaii Attorney General certifying that Hawaiis laws and regulations to carry out the program revisions were duly adopted and are enforceable. Therefore, EPA is tentatively approving the States revisions as part of Hawaiis PWSS
Program.
Public Process. Any interested party may request a public hearing on this determination. A request for a public hearing must be received or postmarked before September 13, 2021, and addressed to the Regional Administrator at the EPA Region 9, via the following email address: R9dw-program@epa.gov.
Please note, State Primacy Rule Determination in the subject line of the email. The Regional Administrator may deny frivolous or insubstantial requests for a hearing.
