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

[[Page 35778]]

and will use electronic document receiving systems that meet the 
applicable subpart D requirements.
    On February 22, 2016, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources 
(WDNR) submitted a revised application titled Electronic Receiving 
System for revisions/modifications to its EPA-approved programs under 
title 40 CFR to allow new electronic reporting. EPA reviewed WDNR's 
request to revise/modify its EPA-authorized programs and, based on this 
review, EPA determined that the revised 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 Wisconsin's request to revise/
modify its following EPA-authorized programs to allow electronic 
reporting under 40 CFR parts 50-52, 61-63, 65, 70, 122, 125, 141, 144, 
146, 240-270, 272-280, 403-471, 501, and 503 is being published in the 
Federal Register:
