SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
On October 13, 2005, the final CrossMedia 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.
Under Subpart D of CROMERR, state,
tribal or local government agencies that
receive, or wish to begin receiving,
electronic reports under their EPAauthorized programs must apply to EPA
for a revision or modification of those
programs and get 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, in § 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
PO 00000

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 14, 2008, the Texas State
Commission on Environmental Quality
(TCEQ) submitted two applications, for
their Net Discharge Monitoring Report
(NetDMR) and the State of Texas
Environmental Electronic Reporting
System (STEERS) electronic document
receiving systems for revision or
modification of multiple authorized
programs under 40 CFR parts 51, 60, 63,
70, 123, 142, 233–404, 271, 281, and
403.
EPA reviewed TCEQ’s requests to
revise/modify multiple authorized
programs and, based on this review,
EPA determined the two applications
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 TCEQ’s requests for
modifications/revisions to certain of
their authorized programs under title 40
to allow electronic reporting for specific
reports under those programs is being
published in the Federal Register.
Specifically, EPA has approved
TCEQ’s request for modifications/
revisions to the following of their
authorized programs to allow electronic
reporting under 40 CFR parts 51, 60–63,
70, 122–124, 141, 239, 262, 264–266,
268, 270, 280, and 403:

Preparation, Adoption, and Submittal of
Implementation Plans;
• Part 60—Standards of Performance
for New Stationary Sources;
• Part 63—National Emission
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants

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. Under
Subpart D of CROMERR, 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 get 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, in 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 14, 2008, the Texas State Commission on Environmental
Quality (TCEQ) submitted two applications, for their Net Discharge
Monitoring Report (NetDMR) and the State of Texas Environmental
Electronic Reporting System (STEERS) electronic document receiving
systems for revision or modification of multiple authorized programs
under 40 CFR parts 51, 60, 63, 70, 123, 142, 233-404, 271, 281, and
403.
EPA reviewed TCEQ's requests to revise/modify multiple authorized
programs and, based on this review, EPA determined the two applications
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 TCEQ's
requests for modifications/revisions to certain of their authorized
programs under title 40 to allow electronic reporting for specific
reports under those programs is being published in the Federal
Register.
Specifically, EPA has approved TCEQ's request for modifications/
revisions to the following of their authorized programs to allow
electronic reporting under 40 CFR parts 51, 60-63, 70, 122-124, 141,
239, 262, 264-266, 268, 270, 280, and 403:

Part 60--Standards of Performance for New Stationary
Sources;
Part 63--National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants for Source Categories;
Part 70--State Operating Permit Programs;
Part 123--State Program Requirements;

Part 233-404--State Program Regulations;
Part 271--Requirements for Authorization of State
Hazardous Waste Programs;
Part 281--Approval of State Underground Storage Tank
Programs; and
Part 403--General Pretreatment Regulations for Existing
and New Sources of Pollution.
TCEQ was notified of EPA's determination to approve its two
[[Page 19083]]
applications with respect to the authorized programs listed above in a
letter dated 04/16/2009.
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 Texas' request to revise their 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:
