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 February 17, 2021, the District of 

Columbia Department of Energy and 

Environment (DOEE) submitted an 

application titled DC UST Portal for 

revisions/modifications to its EPAapproved programs under title 40 CFR 

to allow new electronic reporting. EPA 

reviewed DOEE’s request to revise/ 

modify its EPA-authorized programs 

and, based on this review, EPA 

determined that the applications 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 the 

District of Colombia’s request to revise/ 

modify its following EPA-authorized 

programs under 40 CFR parts 281, to 

allow electronic reporting under 40 CFR 

part 280 is being published in the 

Federal Register: 

Part 281: Technical Standards and 

Corrective Action Requirements for
