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, Sec. 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 program-specific 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 21, 2020, the North Dakota Department of Environmental
Quality (NDDEQ) submitted an application titled Cloud Hosted SLEIS from
Windsor Solutions for revisions/modifications to its EPA-approved
programs under title 40 CFR to allow new electronic reporting. EPA
reviewed NDDEQ'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 North Dakota's
request to revise/modify its following EPA-authorized programs to allow
electronic reporting under 40 CFR parts 64 and 70 is being published in
the Federal Register:
Part 70: State Operating Permit Programs (Clean Air Act Title V)
Reporting under CFR 64 & 70
NDDEQ was notified of EPA's determination to approve its application
with respect to the authorized programs listed above.
