Title: ●Cross-Media Electronic Reporting Regulation (CROMERR) Technical Amendment 
Abstract: EPA published the final Cross-Media Electronic Reporting Rule (CROMERR) on October 13, 2005. The rule establishes a legal framework for electronic reporting by regulated entities to EPA and states, tribes, and local governments that are authorized to administer EPA programs. Specifically CROMERR (1) removes all regulatory obstacles to e-reporting under EPA and EPA-authorized programs; (2) sets requirements for electronic reporting to EPA; (3) requires EPA approval of modifications or revisions to authorized programs that allow or wish to allow e-reporting; (4) creates a special, optional process fro obtaining EPA approval of program modifications or revisions to e-reporting and (5) sets mandatory standards for e-reporting systems operated by authorized programs. CROMERR applies to any document submissions required by or permitted under any EPA or authorized program governed by EPA’s regulations in title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), if it is submitted electronically. State, tribal, and local government applicants that have an existing electronic document receiving system (as defined in section 3.3 of the regulation), originally had until October 13, 2007, to submit their applications to apply for EPA approval of their system under CROMERR. On October 2, 2007, a direct final rulemaking to extend the October 13, 2007, Cross-Media Electronic Reporting Regulation (CROMERR) deadline for authorized programs (States, tribes, or local governments) with existing electronic document receiving systems became effective. Under section 3.1000(a)(3) of CROMERR, authorized program applicants that have an existing electronic document receiving system now have until October 13, 2008, to submit their applications for EPA approval of their system under CROMERR. OEI would like to extend the October 13, 2008, deadline for existing systems by 15 months, to January 13, 2010, to provide additional time for authorized programs to develop their applications and upgrade their systems, if required.
