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, § 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 programspecific 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 15, 2017, the Hawaii
Department of Health (HI DOH)
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 HI DOH’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 Hawaii’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. HI
DOH 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 State of Hawaii’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,

Requirements for National Volatile
Organic Compound Emission Standards
for Consumer Products (40 CFR part 59,
subpart C) (Renewal); OMB Control
Number 2060–0348; EPA ICR Number
1764.07), which explain in detail the
information that the EPA will be
collecting are available in the public
docket for this ICR. The docket can be

Abstract: The EPA is required under
section 183(e) of the Clean Air Act
(CAA) to regulate volatile organic
compound (VOC) emissions from the
use of consumer and commercial
products. Pursuant to CAA section
183(e)(3), the EPA published a list of
consumer and commercial products and
a schedule for their regulation (60 FR
15264). The standards for consumer
products are codified at 40 CFR part 59,
subpart C. The information collection
includes initial reports and periodic
recordkeeping necessary for the EPA to
ensure compliance with Federal
standards for VOC in consumer
products. Respondents are
manufacturers, distributors, and
importers of consumer products. All
information submitted to the EPA for
which a claim of confidentiality is made
will be safeguarded according to the
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 241001
Agency policies set forth in 40 CFR part
2, subpart B, Confidentiality of Business
Information. The reports required under
the standards enable the EPA to identify
all consumer products manufacturers,
distributors, and importers in the
United States and to determine which
consumer products are subject to the
standards.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/Affected entities:
Entities potentially affected by this
action as respondents are
manufacturers, distributors, and
importers of consumer products.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Responses to the collection are
mandatory under 40 CFR part 59,
subpart C.
Estimated number of respondents:
300 (total).
Frequency of response: On occasion.
Total estimated burden: 16,126 hours
(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $1,765,427 (per
year), includes $0 annualized capital or
operation and maintenance costs.
Changes in the estimates: There is a
decrease of 13,487 hours in the total
estimated respondent burden compared
with the ICR currently approved by
OMB. This decrease is due to
adjustments to the estimated hours for
each level of review. These adjustments
are consistent with the assumptions
used routinely in ICR renewals, and are
discussed in the supporting statements
for this action.
