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.
Once an authorized program has EPA’s
approval to accept electronic documents
under certain programs, CROMERR
§ 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 § 3.2000.
On October 27, 2014, the Oklahoma
Department of Environmental Quality
(OK DEQ) submitted a modification to
their amended application titled
‘‘Electronic Document Receiving
System’’ for revision/modification to its
EPA-approved pretreatment and sludge
management programs under title 40
CFR to allow new electronic reporting.
EPA reviewed OK DEQ’s request to
revise/modify its EPA-authorized Part
403—General Pretreatment Regulations
For Existing And New Sources Of
Pollution and 501—State Sludge
Management Program Regulations 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 Oklahoma’s request
to revise/modify its Part 403—General
Pretreatment Regulations For Existing

opens a public comment period on these
documents. Registration review is EPA’s
periodic review of pesticide
registrations to ensure that each
pesticide continues to satisfy the
statutory standard for registration, that
is, the pesticide can perform its
intended function without unreasonable
adverse effects on human health or the
environment. As part of the registration
review process, the Agency has
completed comprehensive draft
ecological risk assessments for all
atrazine, propazine, and simazine uses.
After reviewing comments received
during the public comment period, EPA
may issue revised risk assessments,
explain any changes to the draft risk
assessments, respond to comments, and
may request public input on risk
mitigation before completing proposed
registration review decisions for
atrazine, propazine, and simazine.
Through this program, EPA is ensuring
that each pesticide’s registration is
based on current scientific and other
knowledge, including its effects on
human health and the environment.
