Electronic Reporting Rule (CROMERR) was published in the Federal

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.
    On July 19, 2017, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency 
(IEPA) submitted an application titled ``NPDES e-Reporting Tool'' for 
revision to its EPA-approved program under title 40 CFR to allow new 
electronic reporting. EPA reviewed IEPA's request to revise its EPA-
authorized Part 123--EPA Administered Permit Programs: The National 
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System program 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 Illinois's request to revise its Part 123--

Elimination System program to allow electronic reporting under 40 CFR
