SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

What Action Is EPA Taking?

A. Background

    Elsewhere in today's Federal Register, the EPA has published its 
Electronic Reporting Rule, the ``Cross-Media Electronic Reporting'' 
(``CROMERR''), located at 40 CFR part 3. CROMERR provides the 
performance standards applicable to electronic reporting under EPA's 
authorized state, tribe, and local programs. If reporting to EPA rather

[[Page 59749]]

than authorized programs, Sec.  3.10 of CROMERR requires submission of 
an electronic document to EPA's Central Data Exchange, or ``to another 
EPA electronic document receiving system that the Administrator may 
designate for the receipt of specified submissions[.]'' This notice is 
intended to designate certain EPA electronic document receiving systems 
for receipt of submissions under CROMERR, as discussed below.

B. Today's Action

    In accordance with 40 CFR 3.10, EPA hereby designates for the 
receipt of electronic submissions, all EPA electronic document 
receiving systems currently existing and receiving electronic reports 
as of the date of this notice. This designation is valid for a period 
of up to two years from the date of publication of this notice. During 
this two-year period, entities that report directly to EPA may continue 
to satisfy EPA reporting requirements by reporting to the same systems 
as they did prior to CROMERR's publication unless EPA publishes a 
notice that announces changes to, or migration from, that system.
    Any existing systems continuing to receive electronic reports at 
the expiration of this two-year period must receive redesignation by 
the Administrator under Sec.  3.10. Notice of such redesignation will 
be published in the Federal Register.

C. How Can I Get Copies of This Document and Other Related Information?

    A copy of this notice has been placed in EPA's official public 
docket for CROMERR, Docket ID No. OEI-2003-0001. The official public
