SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA's approval of the State of Florida's 
request to revise/modify certain of its EPA-authorized programs to

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Karen Seeh, U.S. Environmental

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

[[Page 42101]]

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. Once an authorized program has EPA's approval 
to accept electronic documents under certain programs, CROMERR Sec.  
3.1000(a)(4) requires that the program keep EPA apprised of any changes 
to laws, policies, or the electronic document receiving systems that 
have the potential to affect the program's compliance with CROMERR 
Sec.  3.2000.
    On February 22, 2011, the Florida Department of Environmental 
Protection (FDEP) submitted an amended application titled ``Electronic 
Reporting System'' for revisions/modifications of its EPA-authorized 
programs under title 40 CFR to allow new electronic reporting. EPA 
reviewed FDEP's request to revise/modify its EPA-authorized programs 
and, based on this review, EPA determined that the application 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 Florida's request 
to revise/modify its following EPA-authorized programs to allow 
electronic reporting under 40 CFR parts 71, and 122, is being published 
in the Federal Register:
    Part 71--Federal Operating Permit Programs;
    Part 123--EPA Administered Permit Programs: The National Pollutant 
Discharge Elimination System; and
    Part 239--Requirements for State Permit Program Determination of 
Adequacy.
    FDEP was notified of EPA's determination to approve its application 
with respect to the authorized programs listed above.
