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, tribe 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 also 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 April 27, 2010, the State of Arkansas Department of 
Environmental Quality (ARDEQ) submitted an application for its Net 
Discharge Monitoring Report (NetDMR) electronic document receiving 
system for revision of its 40 CFR part 123--National Pollutant 
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) State Program Requirements EPA-
authorized program for electronic reporting of Discharge Monitoring 
Report (DMR) information under 40 CFR part 122.
    EPA has reviewed ARDEQ's request to revise its EPA-authorized 
program and, based on this review, EPA has determined that the 
application meets 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 Arkansas's request for revision to its 40 CFR part 123--NPDES 
State Program Requirements authorized program for electronic reporting 
of discharge monitoring report information is being published in the 
Federal Register.
    ARDEQ was notified of EPA's determination to approve its 
application with respect to the authorized program listed above.
