annually in outsourced start-up costs for 

preconstruction monitoring. 

Changes in estimates: There is a 

decrease of 2,417,665 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB. This decrease has two primary 

causes: (1) A significant decrease in the 

estimated number of industrial facilities 

subject to CAA title I, part C permitting 

as a result of the U.S. Supreme Court 

ruling in Utility Air Regulatory Group 

(UARG) v. EPA (134 S.Ct. 2427 (2014)); 

and (2) a significant decrease in the 

estimated number of permits and 

registrations on tribal lands based on the 

progress in, and experience with, 

implementing the tribal NSR program.

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. 

On July 5, 2016, the Oregon 

Department of Environmental Quality 

(OR DEQ) submitted an application 

titled ‘‘National Network Discharge 

Monitoring Report System’’ for 

revisions/modifications to its EPAapproved programs under title 40 CFR 

to allow new electronic reporting. EPA 

reviewed OR DEQ’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 

Oregon’s request to revise/modify its 

following EPA-authorized programs to 

allow electronic reporting under 40 CFR 

parts 122 and 403, is being published in 

the Federal Register: 

Part 123—EPA Administered Permit 

Programs: The National Pollutant 

Discharge Elimination System; and 

Part 403—General Pretreatment 

Regulations for Existing and New 

Sources of Pollution. 

OR DEQ was notified of EPA’s 

determination to approve its application 

with respect to the authorized programs 

listed above.
