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

Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

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 June 6, 2017, the Nevada Division
of Environmental Protection (NDEP)
submitted a revised 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 NDEP’s request to revise
its EPA-authorized program and, based
on this review, EPA determined that the
application, as revised, 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 Nevada’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.
NDEP 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 Nevada’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

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 State
of Nevada’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

Abstract: Owners or operators of the
affected facilities described must make
one-time only notifications and are also
required to maintain records of the
occurrence and duration of any startup,
shutdown, or malfunction in the
operation of an affected facility, or any
period during which the monitoring
system is inoperative. Monitoring
requirements specific to Equipment
Leaks of VOC in Petroleum Refineries
provide information on which
PO 00000
Frm 00059

components are leaking VOCs. NSPS
subpart GGG references the compliance
requirements of NSPS subpart VV; and
NSPS subpart GGGa references the
compliance requirements of NSPS
subpart VVa. Periodically, owners or
operators are required to record
information identifying leaking
equipment, repair methods used to stop
the leaks, and dates of repair. The time
period for this recordkeeping varies and
depends on equipment type and leak
history. Semiannual reports are required
to measure compliance with the
standards of NSPS subparts VV and
VVa, as referenced by NSPS subparts
GGG and GGGa. These notifications,
reports, and records are essential in
determining compliance and in general,
are required of all sources subject to
NSPS. Any owner or operator subject to
the provisions of this part shall
maintain a file of these measurements,
and retain the file for at least two years
following the date of such
measurements, maintenance reports,
and records.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities:
Petroleum Refineries.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subparts
GGG and GGGa).
Estimated number of respondents:
116 (total).
Frequency of response: Initially and
semiannually.
Total estimated burden: 183,000
hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5
CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $18,900,000 (per
year); there are neither annualized
capital/startup nor operation &
maintenance costs in this ICR.
Changes in the Estimates: The
increase in burden from the mostrecently approved ICR is due to
adjustments in Agency’s estimates. The
burden has increased due to more
accurate estimates for recording
operation parameters and semiannual
work practice reports. The most-recently
approved ICR underestimated the effort
required to record operating parameters
and develop semiannual reports.
Updated estimates for these burden
items increased the total respondent
burden for subpart GGG from 18,800 to
130,000 hours and for subpart GGGa
from 6,120 to 53,400 hours. This ICR
takes into account estimates provided
by consultations with industry trade
associations.

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 June 6, 2017, the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection
(NDEP) submitted a revised 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
NDEP's request to revise its EPA-authorized program and, based on this
review, EPA determined that the application, as revised, 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 Nevada'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.
NDEP 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 Nevada'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
[[Page 29080]]
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 State of Nevada'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).
