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 11, 2014, the New York State 

Department of Environmental 

Conservation (NYSDEC) submitted an 

application titled ‘‘New York DEC 

Network Discharge Monitoring Report 

System (National NetDMR)’’ for 

revision/modification of its EPAauthorized Part 123 program under title 

40 CFR. EPA reviewed NYSDEC’s 

request to revise its EPA-authorized Part 

123—EPA Administered Permit 

Programs: The National Pollutant 

Discharge Elimination System 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 document of EPA’s 

decision to approve New York’s request 

to revise its Part 123—EPA 

Administered Permit Programs: The 

National Pollutant Discharge 

Elimination System program to allow 

electronic reporting under 40 CFR part 

123 is being published in the Federal 

Register. 

NYSDEC was notified of EPA’s 

determination to approve its application 

with respect to the authorized program 

listed above.
