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 October 15, 2013, the Arkansas 

Department of Environmental Quality 

(ADEQ) submitted an application titled 

‘‘Arkansas Department of 

Environmental Quality Electronic Portal 

System’’ for revisions/modifications of 

its EPA-authorized programs under title 

40 CFR. EPA reviewed ADEQ’s request 

to revise/modify its EPA-authorized 

programs and, based on this review, 

EPA determined that the application 

met the standards for approval of 

authorized program revisions/

modifications 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 Arkansas’ request to revise/ 

modify its following EPA-authorized 

programs to allow electronic reporting 

under 40 CFR parts 51, 70–71, 122, 144, 

146, 262, 264–265, 270–271, and 279 is
