SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Information About the Project/

Document 

Water resources in the United States 

are affected by a number of climate 

stressors, including increasing 

temperatures, changing precipitation 

patterns, and extreme events. These 

changing conditions have implications 

for stormwater management as local 

decision makers look to improve 

existing infrastructure and build new 

stormwater systems. EPA and NOAA 

have conducted a number of workshops 

and other community efforts in cities 

and counties within the Chesapeake Bay 

and Great Lakes regions to initiate 

conversations about how projected land 

use and climate change could impact 

local water conditions and how 

adaptation (resiliency) planning can fit 

into decision-making processes to help 

meet existing goals. These conversations 

provided insights into the kinds of 

information that enable and facilitate 

communities’ incorporation of climate 

change into local planning and decision 

making for stormwater management. 

The report reviews lessons learned from 

these adaptation planning experiences, 

including locally identified barriers to 

addressing climate change, methods to 

overcome barriers in the short term, and 

long term information needs to further 

assist communities in their stormwater 

adaptation efforts.

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 January 13, 2010, the Virginia 

Department of Environmental Quality 

(VA DEQ) submitted an application 

titled ‘‘Electronic Environmental Data 

Exchange Reporting System’’ for 

revision/modification to its EPAapproved stormwater program under 

title 40 CFR to allow new electronic 

reporting. EPA reviewed VA DEQ’s 

request to revise/modify its EPAauthorized Part 123—EPA Administered 

Permit Programs: The National Pollutant 

Discharge Elimination System program 

and, based on this review, EPA 

determined that the application met the 

standards for approval of authorized 

program revision/modification 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 Virginia’s 

request to revise/modify its Part 123— 

EPA Administered Permit Programs: 

The National Pollutant Discharge 

Elimination System program to allow 

electronic reporting under 40 CFR part 

122 is being published in the Federal 

Register. 

VA DEQ was notified of EPA’s 

determination to approve its application 

with respect to the authorized program 

listed above.

II. Background 

EPA has granted or denied emergency 

exemptions to the following State and 

Federal agencies. The emergency 

exemptions may take the following 

form: Crisis, public health, quarantine, 

or specific. EPA has also listed denied 

emergency exemption requests in this 

notice. 

Under FIFRA section 18 (7 U.S.C. 

136p), EPA can authorize the use of a 

pesticide when emergency conditions 

exist. Authorizations (commonly called 

emergency exemptions) are granted to 

State and Federal agencies and are of 

four types: 

1. A ‘‘specific exemption’’ authorizes 

use of a pesticide against specific pests 

on a limited acreage in a particular 

State. Most emergency exemptions are 

specific exemptions. 

2. ‘‘Quarantine’’ and ‘‘public health’’ 

exemptions are emergency exemptions 

issued for quarantine or public health 

purposes. These are rarely requested. 

3. A ‘‘crisis exemption’’ is initiated by 

a State or Federal agency (and is 

confirmed by EPA) when there is 

insufficient time to request and obtain 

EPA permission for use of a pesticide in 

an emergency.
