updates to contact and location
information for the facility and reasons
for non-reporting. Some of this
information is useful to the Agency and
could be useful to the public. Currently,
the EPA receives this unsolicited
information on paper.
This proposed modification would
allow for an online means for the EPA
to receive miscellaneous documents,
reducing the cost of processing their
submission and aligning how EPA
processes such documents with the
recent requirement to submit TRI
reporting forms electronically. In other
words, with this change, facilities could
use TRI–MEweb to provide details on
specific categories of information that
they have been providing on a voluntary
basis to the EPA throughout the
existence of the program (e.g.,
supplemental information on updates to
the facility’s name, status, location, and/
or parent company; supplemental
information on updates on whom to
contact for technical and/or public
matters; and reasons for not reporting
(indicating the facility did not meet
thresholds or did not report for any
other appropriate reason)). Receipt and
processing of this information would
not affect any reporting forms certified
and submitted to the agency, but rather
would allow facilities to provide an
electronic means to submit contextual
information concerning their facilities
that can enhance the context of TRI data
for the EPA as well as for the public.
What is the next step in the process for
these ICRs?
mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
EPA will consider the comments
received and amend the ICR as
appropriate. The final ICR package will
then be submitted to OMB for review
and approval pursuant to 5 CFR
1320.12. At that time, EPA will issue
another Federal Register notice for the
ICR pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv)
to announce the submission of the ICR
to OMB and the opportunity to submit
additional comments to OMB. If you
have any questions about this ICR or the
approval process, please contact the
individual listed under FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT.

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 November 13, 2013, the Rhode
Island Department of Environmental
Management (RI DEM) submitted an
application titled ‘‘National Network
Discharge Monitoring Report System’’
for revision/modification of its EPAauthorized Part 123 program under title
40 CFR. EPA reviewed RI DEM’s request
to revise/modify its EPA-authorized Part
123—EPA Administered Permit
Programs: The National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System program
and, based on this review, EPA
determined that the application met the
standards for approval of authorized
program revision/modification 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 Rhode
Island’s request to revise/modify its Part
123—EPA Administered Permit
Programs: The National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System program
to allow electronic reporting under 40
CFR part 122.41(I)(4)(i) is being
published in the Federal Register.
RI DEM was notified of EPA’s
determination to approve its application
with respect to the authorized program
listed above.
Dated: February 24, 2014.
