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 October 9, 2017, the Kentucky Department for Environmental 
Protection (KY DEP) submitted an application titled ``Compliance 
Monitoring Data Portal'' for revision to its EPA-approved drinking 
water program under title 40 CFR to allow new electronic reporting. EPA 
reviewed KY DEP's request to revise its EPA-authorized program and, 
based on this review, EPA determined that the application met the 
standards for approval of authorized program revision 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 Kentucky's request to revise its Part 142 --
National Primary Drinking Water Regulations Implementation program to 
allow electronic reporting under 40 CFR part 141 is being published in 
the Federal Register.
    KY DEP was notified of EPA's determination to approve its 
application with respect to the authorized program 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 
Commonwealth of Kentucky'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

[[Page 56019]]

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 Commonwealth of Kentucky'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).
