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,

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.

DNR) submitted an application titled ``Network Discharge Monitoring 
Report (NetDMR)'' electronic document receiving system for revision of 
its EPA-authorized programs under title 40 CFR. EPA reviewed GA DNR's 
request to revise its EPA-authorized programs and, based on this

approval of authorized program revisions 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 Georgia's request for revision to its 40 CFR part
