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 amozie on DSK3GDR082PROD with NOTICES1 SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:51 Dec 10, 2018 Jkt 247001 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 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.
