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. Under
subpart D of CROMERR, 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 get 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, in
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 August 21, 2008, the State of Delaware Department of Natural
Resources and Environmental Control (DEDNREC) submitted an application
for their Online Reporting System (ORS) electronic document receiving
system for revision or modification of EPA-authorized programs under 40
CFR parts 51, 60, 122, and 271. EPA reviewed DEDNREC's request to
revise/modify their 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 DEDNREC's request for revision/modification to certain
of their authorized programs is being published in the Federal Register.
    Specifically, EPA has approved DEDNREC's request for revisions/
modifications to the following of their authorized programs to allow
electronic reporting under 40 CFR parts 51, 61, 122, 261-265:
    • Part 51--Requirements for Preparation, Adoption, and
Submittal of Implementation Plans;
    • Part 60--Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources;
    • Part 123--National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) State Program Requirements; and
    • Part 271--Requirements for Authorization of State
Hazardous Waste Programs.
    DEDNREC was notified of EPA's determination to approve its
application with respect to the authorized programs listed above in a
letter dated April 23, 2009.

    Dated: April 23, 2009.

Director, Office of Information Collection.
