Cross-Media Electronic Reporting: Authorized Program Revision

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

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

DATES: EPA's approval is effective July 10, 2017 for the State of 
Vermont's National Primary Drinking Water Regulations Implementation 
program, if no timely request for a public hearing is received and 
accepted by the Agency, and on June 8, 2017 for the State of Vermont's

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

[[Page 26681]]

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 March 24, 2017, the Vermont Department of Environmental 
Conservation (VT DEC) submitted an application titled ``Agency of 
Natural Resources Online System'' for revisions/modifications to its 
EPA-approved programs under title 40 CFR to allow new electronic 
reporting. EPA reviewed VT DEC'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 Vermont's request to revise/modify its following EPA-authorized 
programs to allow electronic reporting under 40 CFR parts 50-52, 60-63, 
65, 70, 122, 125, 141, 144, 146, 240-270, 272-280, and 403-471, is 
being published in the Federal Register:

    Part 281--Approved Underground Storage Tank Programs; and
    Part 403--General Pretreatment Regulations For Existing And New

    VT DEC 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 Vermont'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

    (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 Vermont'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).
