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. 

Once an authorized program has EPA’s 

approval to accept electronic documents 

under certain programs, CROMERR 

§ 3.1000(a)(4) requires that the program 

keep EPA apprised of any changes to 

laws, policies, or the electronic 

document receiving systems that have 

the potential to affect the program’s 

compliance with CROMERR § 3.2000. 

On October 27, 2014, the Oklahoma 

Department of Environmental Quality 

(OK DEQ) submitted a modification to 

their amended application titled 

‘‘Electronic Document Receiving 

System’’ for revision/modification to its 

EPA-approved pretreatment and sludge 

management programs under title 40 

CFR to allow new electronic reporting. 

EPA reviewed OK DEQ’s request to 

revise/modify its EPA-authorized Part 

403—General Pretreatment Regulations 

For Existing And New Sources Of 

Pollution and 501—State Sludge 

Management Program Regulations 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 Oklahoma’s request 

to revise/modify its Part 403—General 

Pretreatment Regulations For Existing 

And New Sources Of Pollution and 

501—State Sludge Management Program 

Regulations to allow electronic 

reporting under 40 CFR parts 403–471, 

501, and 503 is being published in the 

Federal Register. 

OK DEQ was notified of EPA’s 

determination to approve its application 

with respect to the authorized program 

listed above.

Atrazine, Simazine, and Propazine 

Registration Review; Draft Ecological 

Risk Assessments; Notice of 

Availability 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces the 

availability of EPA’s draft ecological risk 

assessments for the registration review 

of atrazine, propazine, and simazine and 

opens a public comment period on these 

documents. Registration review is EPA’s 

periodic review of pesticide 

registrations to ensure that each 

pesticide continues to satisfy the 

statutory standard for registration, that 

is, the pesticide can perform its 

intended function without unreasonable 

adverse effects on human health or the 

environment. As part of the registration 

review process, the Agency has 

completed comprehensive draft 

ecological risk assessments for all 

atrazine, propazine, and simazine uses. 

After reviewing comments received 

during the public comment period, EPA 

may issue revised risk assessments, 

explain any changes to the draft risk 

assessments, respond to comments, and 

may request public input on risk 

mitigation before completing proposed 

registration review decisions for 

atrazine, propazine, and simazine. 

Through this program, EPA is ensuring 

that each pesticide’s registration is 

based on current scientific and other 

knowledge, including its effects on 

human health and the environment.
