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.
    On September 11, 2018, the Kansas Department of Health and 
Environment (KDHE) submitted an application titled ``Kansas 
Environmental Information Management System'' for revisions/
modifications to its EPA-approved programs under title 40 CFR to allow 
new electronic reporting. EPA reviewed KDHE'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 in 40 CFR part 3, subpart D. In 
accordance with 40 CFR 3.1000(d), this notice of EPA's decision to 
approve Kansas' request to revise/modify its following EPA-authorized 
programs to allow electronic reporting under 40 CFR parts 50-52, 60-65, 
and 70, is being published in the Federal Register:
    Part 52--Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans;
    Part 60--Standards of Performance For New Stationary Sources;
    Part 62--Approval and Promulgation of State Plans for Designated 
Facilities and Pollutants;
    Part 63--National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants 
for Source Categories; and
    Part 70--State Operating Permit Programs.
    KDHE was notified of EPA's determination to approve its application 
with respect to the authorized programs listed above.
