Cross-Media Electronic Reporting: Authorized Program Revision 
Approval, State of Maine

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA's approval of the State of Maine's 
request to revise/modify certain of its EPA-authorized programs to 
allow electronic reporting.

DATES: EPA's approval is effective November 9, 2015.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Karen Seeh, U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency, Office of Environmental Information, Mail Stop

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 13, 2005, the final Cross-Media 
Electronic Reporting Rule (CROMERR) was published in the Federal 
Register (70 FR 59848) and codified as part 3 of title 40 of the CFR. 
CROMERR establishes electronic reporting as an acceptable regulatory 
alternative to paper reporting and establishes requirements to assure 
that electronic documents are as legally dependable as their paper 
counterparts. Subpart D of CROMERR requires that state, tribal or local 
government agencies that receive, or wish to begin receiving, 
electronic reports under their EPA-authorized programs must apply to 
EPA for a revision or modification of those programs and obtain EPA 
approval. Subpart D provides standards for such approvals based on 
consideration of the electronic document receiving systems that the 
state, tribe, or local government will use to implement the electronic 
reporting. Additionally, Sec.  3.1000(b) through (e) of 40 CFR part 3, 
subpart D provides special procedures for program revisions and 
modifications to allow electronic reporting, to be used at the option 
of the state, tribe or local government in place of procedures 
available under existing program-specific authorization regulations. An 
application submitted under the subpart D procedures must show that the 
state, tribe or local government has sufficient legal authority to 
implement the electronic reporting components of the programs covered 
by the application and will use electronic document receiving systems 
that meet the applicable subpart D requirements.
    On September 11, 2015, the Maine Department of Environmental 
Protection (ME DEP) submitted an application titled ``National Network 
Discharge Monitoring Report System'' for revisions/modifications to its 
EPA-approved stormwater and pretreatment programs under title 40 CFR to 
allow new electronic reporting. EPA reviewed ME DEP's request to 
revise/modify its EPA-authorized programs and, based on this review, 
EPA determined that the application met the standards for approval of 
authorized program revisions/modifications set out in 40 CFR part 3, 
subpart D. In accordance with 40 CFR 3.1000(d), this notice of EPA's 
decision to approve Maine's request to revise/modify its following EPA-
authorized programs to allow electronic reporting under 40 CFR parts

[[Page 69223]]

    Part 123--EPA Administered Permit Programs: The National 
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System; and
    Part 403--General Pretreatment Regulations For Existing And New 
Sources Of Pollution.

    ME DEP was notified of EPA's determination to approve its 
application with respect to the authorized programs listed above.
