ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: This notice announces EPA’s approval of the State of South Carolina’s request to revise/modify certain of its EPA-authorized programs to allow electronic reporting. DATES: EPA’s approval is effective February 22, 2016. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Karen Seeh, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Office of Environmental Information, Mail Stop 2823T, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20460, (202) 566–1175, seeh.karen@epa.gov. 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 SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00030 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 9990 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 January 5, 2016, the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SC DHEC) submitted an application titled State and Local Emissions Inventory System for revisions/modifications to two of its EPA-approved air programs under title 40 CFR to allow new electronic reporting. EPA reviewed SC DHEC’s request to revise/modify its EPAauthorized 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 South Carolina’s request to revise/modify its following EPA-authorized air programs to allow electronic reporting under 40 CFR parts 51 and 70, is being published in the Federal Register: Part 52—Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; and Part 70—State Operating Permit Programs. SC DHEC was notified of EPA’s determination to approve its application with respect to the authorized programs listed above. Matthew Leopard, Director, Office of Information Collection.
