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. CROMERR applies to any document submissions required by or permitted under EPA or any 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 had until October 13, 2008, to submit their applications for EPA approval of their system under CROMERR. This action extended the October 13, 2008, deadline for existing systems by fifteen (15) months, to January 13, 2010, to provide additional time for authorized programs to develop their applications and upgrade their systems, if required.
