Cross-Media Electronic Reporting: Authorized Program Revision Approval, Mecklenburg County, State of North Carolina, 13338-13339 [2017-04717]

Download as PDF 13338 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 46 / Friday, March 10, 2017 / Notices transconf/pastsips.htm. The adequate MVEBs are provided in Table 1 below: TABLE 1—KNOXVILLE, TENNESSEE 1997 ANNUAL PM2.5 MVEBS [Tons per year or tpy] 2014 PM2.5 ................ NOX ................... 2028 444.78 15,597.73 * 245.00 * 7,171.14 sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES * This includes a safety margin of 10.39 tpy for PM2.5 and 2,613.27 tpy for NOX in 2028. Transportation conformity is required by section 176(c) of the Clean Air Act. EPA’s conformity rule, 40 CFR part 93, requires that transportation plans, programs, and projects conform to state air quality implementation plans and establishes the criteria and procedures for determining whether or not they do so. Conformity to a SIP means that transportation activities will not produce new air quality violations, worsen existing violations, or delay timely attainment of the NAAQS. The criteria by which EPA determines whether a SIP’s MVEBs are adequate for transportation conformity purposes are outlined in 40 CFR 93.118(e)(4). We have also described the process for determining the adequacy of submitted SIP budgets in our July 1, 2004 (69 FR 40004), final rulemaking entitled, ‘‘Transportation Conformity Rule Amendments for the New 8-Hour Ozone and PM2.5 National Ambient Air Quality Standards and Miscellaneous Revisions for Existing Areas; Transportation Conformity Rule Amendments: Response to Court Decision and Additional Rule Changes.’’ Please note that an adequacy review is separate from EPA’s completeness review, and it should not be used to prejudge EPA’s ultimate approval of Tennessee’s 1997 Annual PM2.5 SIP revision for the Knoxville Area. Even if EPA finds a budget adequate, the SIP revision could later be disapproved. Within 24 months from the effective date of this notice or until such time that the 1997 PM2.5 NAAQS is revoked for the Knoxville Area, the transportation partners will need to demonstrate conformity to the new MVEBs, if the demonstration has not already been made, pursuant to 40 CFR 93.104(e). See 73 FR 4419 (January 24, 2008). Authority: 42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq. Dated: February 15, 2017. Kenneth R. Lapierre, Acting Regional Administrator, Region 4.

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 June 30, 2016, the Mecklenburg County Land Use & Environmental Services Agency (LUESA) submitted an application titled ‘‘GovOnline System’’ for revisions/modifications to its EPAapproved programs under title 40 CFR to allow new electronic reporting. EPA reviewed LUESA’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 E:\FR\FM\10MRN1.SGM 10MRN1 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 46 / Friday, March 10, 2017 / Notices in 40 CFR part 3, subpart D.

III. What is the Agency’s authority for taking this action? Under TSCA, 15 U.S.C. 2601 et seq., EPA classifies a chemical substance as either an ‘‘existing’’ chemical or a ‘‘new’’ chemical. Any chemical substance that is not on EPA’s TSCA Inventory is classified as a ‘‘new chemical,’’ while those that are on the TSCA Inventory are classified as an ‘‘existing chemical.’’ For more information about the TSCA Inventory, please go to: https://www.epa.gov/ opptintr/newchems/pubs/ inventory.htm. Anyone who plans to manufacture or import a new chemical substance for a non-exempt commercial purpose is required by TSCA section 5 to provide EPA with a PMN, before initiating the activity. Section 5(h)(1) of TSCA authorizes EPA to allow persons, upon application, to manufacture (includes import) or process a new chemical substance, or a chemical substance subject to a significant new use rule (SNUR) issued under TSCA section 5(a), for ‘‘test marketing’’ purposes, which is referred to as a test marketing exemption, or TME. For more information about the requirements applicable to a new chemical go to: https://www.epa.gov/oppt/newchems. Under TSCA sections 5(d)(2) and 5(d)(3), EPA is required to publish in the Federal Register a notice of receipt of a PMN or an application for a TME and to publish in the Federal Register periodic reports on the status of new chemicals under review and the receipt of NOCs to manufacture those chemicals. IV. Receipt and Status Reports As used in each of the tables in this unit, (S) indicates that the information in the table is the specific information provided by the submitter, and (G) indicates that the information in the table is generic information because the specific information provided by the submitter was claimed as CBI.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA's approval of Mecklenburg County's 
request to revise/modify certain of its EPA-authorized programs to 
allow electronic reporting.

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, 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 June 30, 2016, the Mecklenburg County Land Use & Environmental 
Services Agency (LUESA) submitted an application titled ``GovOnline 
System'' for revisions/modifications to its EPA-approved programs under 
title 40 CFR to allow new electronic reporting. EPA reviewed LUESA'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

[[Page 13339]]

in 40 CFR part 3, subpart D. In accordance with 40 CFR 3.1000(d), this 
notice of EPA's decision to approve North Carolina's request to revise/
modify its following EPA-authorized programs to allow electronic 
reporting under 40 CFR parts 50 through 52, 61, 63, 65, and 70 is being 
published in the Federal Register.
    LUESA was notified of EPA's determination to approve its 
application with respect to the authorized programs listed above.
