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 March 29, 2016, the Kansas
Department of Health and Environment
(KDHE) submitted an application titled
