SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 13, 2005, the final Cross-Media Electronic Reporting Rule (CROMERR) daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:38 May 04, 2018 Jkt 244001 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 22, 2018, the North Dakota Department of Health (ND DOH) submitted an application titled ‘‘Compliance Monitoring Data Portal’’ for revision to its EPA-approved drinking water program under title 40 CFR to allow new electronic reporting. EPA reviewed ND DOH’s request to revise its EPA-authorized program and, based on this review, EPA determined that the application met the standards for approval of authorized program revision 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 North Dakota’s request to revise its Part 142—National Primary Drinking Water Regulations Implementation program to allow electronic reporting under 40 CFR part 141 is being published in the Federal Register. ND DOH was notified of EPA’s determination to approve its application with respect to the authorized program listed above. Also, in today’s notice, EPA is informing interested persons that they may request a public hearing on EPA’s action to approve the State of North PO 00000 Frm 00041 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Dakota’s request to revise its authorized public water system program under 40 CFR part 142, in accordance with 40 CFR 3.1000(f). Requests for a hearing must be submitted to EPA within 30 days of publication of today’s Federal Register notice. Such requests should include the following information: (1) The name, address and telephone number of the individual, organization or other entity requesting a hearing; (2) A brief statement of the requesting person’s interest in EPA’s determination, a brief explanation as to why EPA should hold a hearing, and any other information that the requesting person wants EPA to consider when determining whether to grant the request; (3) The signature of the individual making the request, or, if the request is made on behalf of an organization or other entity, the signature of a responsible official of the organization or other entity. In the event a hearing is requested and granted, EPA will provide notice of the hearing in the Federal Register not less than 15 days prior to the scheduled hearing date. Frivolous or insubstantial requests for hearing may be denied by EPA. Following such a public hearing, EPA will review the record of the hearing and issue an order either affirming today’s determination or rescinding such determination. If no timely request for a hearing is received and granted, EPA’s approval of the State of North Dakota’s request to revise its part 142—National Primary Drinking Water Regulations Implementation program to allow electronic reporting will become effective 30 days after today’s notice is published, pursuant to CROMERR section 3.1000(f)(4).

Abstract: In 2015, the EPA published final revisions to the definition of solid waste that exclude certain hazardous secondary materials from regulation. The information requirements help ensure that (1) entities operating under the regulatory exclusions contained in today’s action are held accountable to the applicable requirements; (2) state inspectors can verify compliance with the restrictions and conditions of the exclusions when needed; and (3) hazardous secondary materials exported for recycling are actually handled as commodities abroad. The United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit on July 7, 2017, and amended on March 6, 2018, issued orders vacating certain provisions of the 2015 rule and reinstated corresponding provisions from the 2008 rule. The vacatur went into effect when the court issued its mandate on March 14, 2018. Paperwork requirements finalized in the 2015 rule, as amended by the courtissued mandate, include: • Under the generator-controlled exclusion at 40 CFR 261.4(a)(23), the tolling contractor has to maintain at its facility for no less than three years records of hazardous secondary materials received pursuant to its written contract with the tolling manufacturer, and the tolling manufacturer must maintain at its facility for no less than three years records of hazardous secondary materials shipped pursuant to its written contract with the tolling contractor. In addition, facilities performing the recycling of hazardous secondary materials under the generator-controlled exclusions at 40 CFR 261.4(a)(23) to maintain documentation of their legitimacy determination onsite. • Under the transfer-based exclusion at 40 CFR 261.4(a)(24), a generator sending secondary hazardous materials to a facility that does not have a permit, would be required to conduct a ‘‘reasonable efforts’’ environmental audit of the receiving facility; and a hazardous secondary materials recycler must meet the following conditions: having financial assurance in place, having trained personnel, and meeting emergency preparedness and response conditions. • Under the export requirements of the transfer-based exclusion at 40 CFR PO 00000 Frm 00042 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 20073 261.4(a)(25), exporters of hazardous secondary material must provide notice and obtain consent of the receiving country, and file an annual report. • Under the remanufacturing exclusion at 40 CFR 261.4(a)(27), both the hazardous secondary material generator and the remanufacturer must maintain records of shipments and confirmations of receipts for a period of three years from the dates of the shipments. • Under the revised speculative accumulation requirement in 261.1(c)(8), all persons subject to the speculative accumulation requirements must label the storage unit by indicating the first date that the material began to be accumulated. This ICR renewal does not include the burden associated with filling out form 8700–12 because that burden is included under OMB Control Number 2050–0024. The remaining burden will eventually be included in ICR 2050– 0053, at which time this ICR will be discontinued. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Private business or other for-profit entities, as well as State, Local, or Tribal governments. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Required to obtain or retain a benefit (42 U.S.C. 6921, 6922, 6923, and 6924). Estimated number of respondents: 7,674. Frequency of response: On occasion.

materials from regulation. The information requirements help ensure 
that (1) entities operating under the regulatory exclusions contained 
in today's action are held accountable to the applicable requirements; 
(2) state inspectors can verify compliance with the restrictions and 
conditions of the exclusions when needed; and (3) hazardous secondary 
materials exported for recycling are actually handled as commodities 
abroad. The United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia 
Circuit on July 7, 2017, and amended on March 6, 2018, issued orders 
vacating certain provisions of the 2015 rule and reinstated 
corresponding provisions from the 2008 rule. The vacatur went into 
effect when the court issued its mandate on March 14, 2018. Paperwork 
requirements finalized in the 2015 rule, as amended by the court-issued 
mandate, include:
     Under the generator-controlled exclusion at 40 CFR 
261.4(a)(23), the tolling contractor has to maintain at its facility 
for no less than three years records of hazardous secondary materials 
received pursuant to its written contract with the tolling 
manufacturer, and the tolling manufacturer must maintain at its 
facility for no less than three years records of hazardous secondary 
materials shipped pursuant to its written contract with the tolling 
contractor. In addition, facilities performing the recycling of 
hazardous secondary materials under the generator-controlled exclusions 
at 40 CFR 261.4(a)(23) to maintain documentation of their legitimacy 
determination onsite.
     Under the transfer-based exclusion at 40 CFR 261.4(a)(24), 
a generator sending secondary hazardous materials to a facility that 
does not have a permit, would be required to conduct a ``reasonable 
efforts'' environmental audit of the receiving facility; and a 
hazardous secondary materials recycler must meet the following 
conditions: having financial assurance in place, having trained 
personnel, and meeting emergency preparedness and response conditions.
     Under the export requirements of the transfer-based 
exclusion at 40 CFR 261.4(a)(25), exporters of hazardous secondary 
material must provide notice and obtain consent of the receiving 
country, and file an annual report.
     Under the remanufacturing exclusion at 40 CFR 
261.4(a)(27), both the hazardous secondary material generator and the 
remanufacturer must maintain records of shipments and confirmations of 
receipts for a period of three years from the dates of the shipments.
     Under the revised speculative accumulation requirement in 
261.1(c)(8), all persons subject to the speculative accumulation 
requirements must label the storage unit by indicating the first date 
that the material began to be accumulated.
    This ICR renewal does not include the burden associated with 
filling out form 8700-12 because that burden is included under OMB
