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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

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

DATES: EPA approves the authorized program revisions/modifications as 
of June 8, 2018.

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

2603, [email protected].

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 May 2, 2018, the Rhode Island Department of Environmental 
Management (RI DEM) submitted an application titled ``NPDES e-Reporting 
Tool'' for revisions/modifications to its EPA-approved programs under 
title 40 CFR to allow new electronic reporting. EPA reviewed RI DEM's 
request to revise/modify its EPA-authorized

[[Page 26684]]

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 Rhode 
Island's request to revise/modify its following EPA-authorized programs 
to allow electronic reporting under 40 CFR parts 122, 125, and 403-471, 
is being published in the Federal Register:
    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.
    RI DEM was notified of EPA's determination to approve its 
application with respect to the authorized programs listed above.

Director, Office of Information Management.
