    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    The State of Vermont has adopted drinking water regulations for the Revised Total Coliform Rule (78 FR 10269) promulgated on February 13, 2013. After review of documentation submitted by the State, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has determined that the State's rule is no less stringent than the corresponding federal regulation. EPA, therefore, intends to approve the state's PWSS program revision for this rule.

    Authority: Section 1401 (42 U.S.C. 300f) and Section 1413 (42 U.S.C. 300g-2) of the Safe Drinking Water Act, as amended (1996), and (40 CFR 142.10) of the National Primary Drinking Water Regulations.

    Dated: August 27, 2024.

    Karen McGuire,

    Acting Regional Administrator, EPA Region 1—New England.
