ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[EPA-R10-OAR-2015-0812; FRL-9940-60-Region 10]

Notice of Availability of Electronic Reporting; Federal Air Rules 
for Reservations Online Reporting System

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is notifying the 
public that electronic emissions reporting is now available for sources 
covered by the Federal Air Rules for Reservations (FARR). The FARR 
requires certain sources of air pollution on Indian Reservations in 
Idaho, Oregon, and Washington to register and report emissions to the 
EPA. Any person who owns or operates a source of air pollution with the 
potential to emit two or more tons per year of an air pollutant, with 
certain exceptions, must register annually and report those emissions. 
Registration and emissions reports are due within 90 days of commencing 
operations, and annually thereafter. The EPA created the FARR Online 
Reporting System (FORS) to help make registration and emissions 
reporting easier. The FORS, operated through the agency's Central Data 
Exchange (CDX), is CROMERR compliant, which means the electronic 
signature meets the EPA's regulatory electronic signature requirements.

ADDRESSES: Nancy Helm: Office of Air, Waste and Toxics, EPA Region 10, 
AWT-150, 1200 Sixth Ave., Suite 900, Seattle, WA 98101. 206-553-6908; 
or helm.nancy@epa.gov.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Nancy Helm: Office of Air, Waste and 
Toxics; 206-553-6908; or helm.nancy@epa.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As of January 15, 2016, air pollution 
sources covered by the FARR as provided in 40 CFR 49.138 may register 
and report emissions electronically.
    How to Access the System: The FORS can be accessed at https://cdx.epa.gov. New users will need to register and select FORS as their 
program service. The EPA intends to provide training to affected 
entities on how to access, register and use the system.
    How to Get Help Using the System: The EPA has provided the CDX user 
guide to each source currently registered under the FARR, and to tribal 
governments in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. That guide is available 
at http://yosemite.epa.gov/R10/tribal.nsf/programs/farr. The CDX Help 
Desk is available for technical support-related questions between the 
hours of 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. (ET) at 1-888-890-1995 or 
helpdesk@epacdx.net.
    Confidential Business Information: Regulated entities may assert a 
business confidentiality claim covering any portion of the submitted 
information as provided in 40 CFR part 2, subpart B. Information 
claimed as confidential should be submitted on compact disk or flash 
drive and mailed to the FARR Registration Coordinator, EPA Region 10, 
AWT-150, 1200 Sixth Ave., Suite 900, Seattle, WA 98101. Confidential 
treatment is automatically forfeited for information submitted through 
the FORS. Note that emissions data and information necessary to 
determine emissions is not entitled to confidential treatment. Failure 
to assert a claim in the manner described in 40 CFR part 2, subpart B, 
allows the submitted information to be released to the public without 
further notice. Information subject to a business confidentiality claim 
may be disclosed by the EPA only to the extent set forth in the above-
cited regulations.
