SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

October 13, 2005, the final Cross-Media 

Electronic Reporting Regulation 

(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 August 19, 2011, the Delaware 

Department of Natural Resources and 

Environmental Control (DE DNREC) 

submitted an amended application 

titled ‘‘Online Reporting System 

Electronic Document Receiving System’’ 

for revision of its EPA-approved 

electronic reporting program under its 

title 40 CFR part 52 authorized program 

to allow new electronic reporting. EPA 

reviewed DE DNREC’s request to revise 

its EPA-authorized program and, based 

on this review, EPA determined that the 

application met the standards for 

approval of authorized program 

revisions 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 Delaware’s request to revise 

its Part 52—Approval and Promulgation 

of Implementation Plans authorized 

program to allow electronic reporting of 

permits for minor sources under 40 CFR 

parts 51, is being published in the 

Federal Register. DE DNREC was 

notified of EPA’s determination to 

approve its application with respect to 

this authorized program.
