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

[[Page 36539]]

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 February 12, 2016, the Arizona Department of Environmental 
Quality (ADEQ) submitted an application titled myDEQ for revisions/
modifications to its EPA-approved programs under title 40 CFR to allow 
new electronic reporting. EPA reviewed ADEQ'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 Arizona's request to revise/modify its following EPA-authorized 
programs to allow electronic reporting under 40 CFR parts 50-52, 61-65, 
70, 122, 124, 141, 240-259, 260-270, 272-279, 262, 280, 403-471, 501, 
and 503 is being published in the Federal Register:

Part 52--Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans;
Part 62--Approval and Promulgation of State Plans for Designated 
Facilities and Pollutants;
Part 63--National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for 
Source Categories;
Part 70--State Operating Permit Programs;
Part 123--EPA Administered Permit Programs: The National Pollutant 
Discharge Elimination System;
Part 142--National Primary Drinking Water Regulations Implementation;
Part 239--Requirements for State Permit Program Determination of 
Adequacy;
Part 271--Requirements for Authorization of State Hazardous Waste 
Programs;
Part 281--Technical Standards and Corrective Action Requirements for 
Owners and Operators of Underground Storage Tanks;
Part 403--General Pretreatment Regulations for Existing and New Sources 
of Pollution Reporting; and
Part 501--State Sludge Management Program Regulations.

ADEQ was notified of EPA's determination to approve its application 
with respect to the authorized programs listed above.
    Also, in today's notice, EPA is informing interested persons that 
they may request a public hearing on EPA's action to approve the State 
of Arizona's request to revise its authorized public water system 
program under 40 CFR part 142, in accordance with 40 CFR 3.1000(f). 
Requests for a hearing must be submitted to EPA within 30 days of 
publication of today's Federal Register notice. Such requests should 
include the following information: (1) The name, address and telephone 
number of the individual, organization or other entity requesting a 
hearing; (2) A brief statement of the requesting person's interest in 
EPA's determination, a brief explanation as to why EPA should hold a 
hearing, and any other information that the requesting person wants EPA 
to consider when determining whether to grant the request; (3) 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.
    In the event a hearing is requested and granted, EPA will provide 
notice of the hearing in the Federal Register not less than 15 days 
prior to the scheduled hearing date. Frivolous or insubstantial 
requests for hearing may be denied by EPA. Following such a public 
hearing, EPA will review the record of the hearing and issue an order 
either affirming today's determination or rescinding such 
determination. If no timely request for a hearing is received and 
granted, EPA's approval of the State of Arizona's request to revise its 
part 142--National Primary Drinking Water Regulations Implementation 
program to allow electronic reporting will become effective 30 days 
after today's notice is published, pursuant to CROMERR section 
3.1000(f)(4).
