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 August 19, 2010, the West Virginia 

Department of Health and Human 

Resources (WV DHHR) submitted an 

amended application titled ‘‘Drinking 

Water Program Electronic Data 

Receiving System’’ for revision of its 

EPA-authorized Part 142 program under 

title 40 CFR. EPA reviewed WV DHHR’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 revision 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 West Virginia’s request to 

revise its Part 142—National Primary 

Drinking Water Regulations 

Implementation program to allow 

electronic reporting under 40 CFR part 

141 is being published in the Federal 

Register. 

WV DHHR was notified of EPA’s 

determination to approve its application 

with respect to the authorized program 

listed above. 

Also, in today’s notice, EPA is 

informing interested persons that they 

may request a public hearing on EPA’s 

action to approve the State of West 

Virginia’s request to revise its 

authorized public water system program 

under 40 CFR part 142, in accordance 

with 40 CFR 3.1000(f). Requests for a 

hearing must be submitted to EPA 

within 30 days of publication of today’s 

Federal Register notice. Such requests 

should include the following 

information: 

(1) The name, address and telephone 

number of the individual, organization 

or other entity requesting a hearing; 

(2) A brief statement of the requesting 

person’s interest in EPA’s 

determination, a brief explanation as to 

why EPA should hold a hearing, and 

any other information that the 

requesting person wants EPA to 

consider when determining whether to 

grant the request; 

(3) The signature of the individual 

making the request, or, if the request is 

made on behalf of an organization or 

other entity, the signature of a 

responsible official of the organization 

or other entity. 

In the event a hearing is requested 

and granted, EPA will provide notice of 

the hearing in the Federal Register not 

less than 15 days prior to the scheduled 

hearing date. Frivolous or insubstantial 

requests for hearing may be denied by 

EPA. Following such a public hearing, 

EPA will review the record of the 

hearing and issue an order either 

affirming today’s determination or 

rescinding such determination. If no 

timely request for a hearing is received 

and granted, EPA’s approval of the State 

of West Virginia’s request to revise its 

part 142—National Primary Drinking 

Water Regulations Implementation 

program to allow electronic reporting 

will become effective 30 days after 

today’s notice is published, pursuant to 

CROMERR section 3.1000(f)(4).
