NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule ( Supplemental Notice )

December 2014 DCN 0 104 EPA Docket Number EPA- HQ - OECA- 2009 - 0274

Available at: http://www.regulations.gov

## ______________________________________________________________________________ 1 **1.0 OVERVIEW**  On July 30, 2013, EPA proposed the Clean Water Act National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Electronic Reporting Rule, which requires electronic reporting of NPDES information rather than the currentl y- required paper-based reports from permitted facilities that discharge to waters of the United States. EPA received 170 public comments on the proposed rule from a variety of stakeholder groups and most commenters were supporting of electronic reporting. The proposed Clean Water Act (CWA) regulation would require permittees and regulators to use existing, available information technology to electronically

report information and data related to the NPDES permit program in lieu of filing written reports. The proposal will also allow better allocation and use of limited program resources and enhance transparency and public accountability

by providing regulatory

agencies and the public with more timely , complete, accurate, and nationally- consistent sets of data about the NPDES program and potential sources of water pollution. This proposed rule would require that NPDES regulated entities electronically submit the following permit and compliance monitoring information instead of using paper reports:

 Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs);  General Permit reports (e.g., Notices of Intent to discharge ); and  Program reports (e.g., Pretreatment Program Annual Reports) . Authorized NPDES programs will also electronically submit NPDES program data to EPA to ensure that there is consistent and complete reporting nationwide, and to expedite the collection and processing of the data, thereb y making it more accurate and timely. Importantly , while the proposed rule changes the m ethod by which information is provided (i.e., electronic rather than paper - based), it does not increase the amount of information required from NPDES regulated entities facilities under existing regulations. The benefits of this proposed rulemaking should allow NPDES - authorized programs in states, tribes, and territories to shift precious resources from data management activities to those more targeted to solving water quality and noncompliance issues. This in turn may contribute to increased compliance, improved water quality, and a level playing field for the regulated community . EPA anticipates that the proposed rule will save significant resources for states, tribes, and territories as well as EPA and NPDES permittees, while resulting in a more complete , accurate, and nationally - consistent set of data about the NPDES program. With full implementation, the anticipated savings are:

 Authorized State NPDES programs: $28.7 million annually ,

## ______________________________________________________________________________ 2  NPDES regulated entities: $1.2 million annually, and  EPA: $0.5 milli on annually. EPA would also incur incremental costs with full implementation of approximately $0.82 million per year. To promote transparency and accountability , EPA intends to make this more complete set of data available to the public, providing commun ities and citizens with information on facility and government performance that is not currentl y available. This can serve to elevate the importance of permitting and compliance information and environmental performance within regulated entities, providing opportunity for them to quickly

address any potential environmental problems. The proposed rule will also lighten the reporting burden currentl y placed on the states. Upon successful implementation, the proposed rule would provide states with regulatory relief from reporting associated with the Quarterl y Non - Compliance Report (QNCR), the Annual Non Compliance Report (ANCR), the Semi - Annual Statistical Summary Report, and the biosolids information required to be submitted to EPA annually by states. E PA open ed a new public comment period on 1 December 2014 with the publication of a new Federal Register notice (1 December 2014; 79 FR 71066) to collect addition comments and suggestions on several topics. EPA is using this notice to identify many of the issu es raised b y comments, clarify

any misunderstandings about the proposed rule, and discuss possibilities for how EPA might modify

the rule to address issues raised by stakeholders. This notice is not, however, intended to respond to all comments submitted; EPA will respond to all substantive comments when it takes final action on the proposed rule. The comment period for the supplemental notice will be 60 days. **2.0 BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON THE DOCKET**  What is the Docket and How Can I Gain Access to It?
