ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[FRL-9795-01-OECA]

NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule Implementation: Notice of Initial
Recipient Designation for Oregon Department of Environmental Quality

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of approval.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This Federal Register document provides notice of the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) approval of the Oregon
Department of Environmental Quality as the initial recipient for
electronic data reporting under the NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule
(``NPDES eRule''), effective December 6, 2021, for all National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) data groups except for
``No. 4--Sewage Sludge/Biosolids Annual Program Reports.'' Oregon
Department of Environmental Quality cannot be the initial recipient for
this data group as EPA is the authorized NPDES program for the Federal
biosolids program.

DATES: This approval was effective December 6, 2021.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information, please
contact Mr. Carey A. Johnston, Office of Compliance (mail code 2222A),
Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW,
Washington, DC, 20460; email address: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) promulgated the NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule (``NPDES eRule'')
in 2015 to modernize Clean Water Act reporting for municipalities,
industries, and other facilities by converting to an electronic data
reporting system (see 22 October 2015; 80 FR 64064). The NPDES eRule
requires regulated entities and state and Federal regulators to use
existing, available information technology to electronically report
data required by the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) permit program instead of filing written paper reports. EPA
amended this rule in 2020 to provide itself and states with more time
to develop and deploy electronic reporting tools (see 2 November 2020;
85 FR 69189).
    This switch from paper to electronic reporting saves time and
resources for permittees, states, tribes, territories, and the U.S.
Government while increasing data accuracy, improving compliance, and
supporting EPA's goal of providing better protection of the Nation's
waters. The NPDES eRule helps provide greater clarity on who is and who
is not in compliance and enhances transparency by providing a timelier,
complete, more accurate, and nationally-consistent set of data about
the NPDES program.
    The NPDES eRule requires each authorized NPDES program to decide
whether to use EPA's electronic reporting tools or to use their own
electronic reporting tools.\1\ Authorized states can make this decision
or defer this decision to EPA. The governmental entity, either the
state or EPA, that makes this decision is the ``initial recipient.''
The NPDES eRule requires EPA to publish on its website and in the
Federal Register a listing of the initial recipients for electronic
NPDES information from NPDES-regulated facilities by state, tribe, and
territory and by NPDES data group. EPA published this initial listing
on September 9, 2016 (see 81 FR 62395). The NPDES eRule also requires
EPA to publish on its website and in the Federal Register a revised
listing of initial recipients upon specified changes to the list of
initial recipients (see 40 CFR 127.27(c)-(f)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ EPA authorized Oregon to administer the NPDES program on
September 26, 1973. See EPA website, ``NPDES State Program
Authority,'' at https://www.epa.gov/npdes/npdes-state-program-authority.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The NPDES eRule allows an authorized NPDES program to seek EPA
approval to change the initial recipient status for one or all of the
NPDES data groups from EPA to the authorized NPDES program. 40 CFR
127.27(e). To make this switch, the authorized NPDES program must send
a request to EPA. This request must identify the specific NPDES data
groups for which the authorized NPDES program would like to be the
initial recipient of electronic NPDES information, a description of how
its data system will be compliant with the NPDES eRule and the Cross-
Media Electronic Reporting Rule (CROMERR) (40 CFR part 3), and the date
or dates when the authorized NPDES program will be ready to start
receiving this information. The Oregon

Department of Environmental Quality (hereinafter Oregon DEQ) sent EPA
such a request on September 23, 2020.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Oregon DEQ Letter to EPA, 2020. ``Request to Designate
Oregon DEQ as eRule `Initial Recipient' for All NPDES Data Groups,''
Signed by Justin Green, Water Quality Administrator, Oregon DEQ,
September 23, 2020.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Oregon DEQ noted in its letter to EPA that it will be using an
Environmental Data Management System, which is produced by enfoTech,
Inc., for all of its NPDES program data. Oregon DEQ plans to start
using this new system in 2022 and will only put this system into full
operation after it receives EPA's CROMERR approval.\3\ Oregon DEQ
stated that this new system will be implemented in stages and that each
stage will include rigorous testing. Finally, Oregon DEQ confirmed that
its new system will collect and share the minimum set of NPDES program
data in accordance with the NPDES eRule data sharing standards (see
subpart B, 40 CFR part 127).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See EPA website, ``CROMERR Overview for State, Tribal and
Local Governments,'' at https://www.epa.gov/cromerr/cromerr-overview-state-tribal-and-local-governments.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    EPA has completed its review of Oregon DEQ's request and, on
December 6, 2021, approved Oregon DEQ as the ``Initial Recipient'' for
all NPDES data groups except for ``No. 4--Sewage Sludge/Biosolids
Annual Program Reports'' (see Table 1, appendix A to 40 CFR part 127).
Oregon DEQ cannot be the initial recipient for this data group as EPA
is the authorized NPDES program for the Federal biosolids program (40
CFR part 503). The effective date for this new status is December 6,
2021.\4\ In accordance with the NPDES eRule, EPA is publishing the
notice of this switch on its website and in the Federal Register. The
following is the updated list of states that have elected for EPA to be
the initial recipient for one or more NPDES data groups.

14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA-2017-0388; Airspace Docket No. 17-AGL-13]

Amendment of Class E Airspace; Medford, WI and Waupaca, WI

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This action amends Class E airspace extending upward from 700
feet above the surface at Taylor County Airport, Medford, WI and
Waupaca Municipal Airport, Waupaca, WI, to accommodate new standard
instrument approach procedures for instrument flight rules (IFR)
operations at these airports. This action is necessary due to the
decommissioning of the Medford and Waupaca non directional radio
beacons (NDB), and cancellation of NDB approaches. Also, an error in
the geographic coordinates of Waupaca Municipal Airport and Taylor
County Airport are corrected. This action enhances the safety and
management of IFR operations at these airports.

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, December 7, 2017. The Director of the
Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under
Title 1, Code of Federal Regulations, part 51, subject to the annual
revision of FAA Order 7400.11 and publication of conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, Section 106
describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII,
Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's
authority. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described
in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it would amend controlled airspace to support IFR operations at
Taylor County and Waupaca Municipal airports.

History

    The FAA published in the Federal Register a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) (82 FR 26408, June 7, 2017) Docket No. FAA-2017-0388
to modify Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the
surface at Taylor County Airport, Medford, WI. Interested parties were
invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written
comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received.
Subsequent to publication, the FAA found the geographic coordinates for
Waupaca Municipal Airport, Waupaca, WI, were incorrect and makes the
correction in this rule. Class E airspace designations are published in
paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.11B, dated August 3, 2017, and
effective September 15, 2017, which is incorporated by reference in 14
CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designations listed in this document
will be published subsequently in the Order.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document amends FAA Order 7400.11B, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2017, and effective September 15,
2017. FAA Order 7400.11B is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11B lists Class A,
B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

The Rule

    This amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 modifies Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface from the 6.8-mile radius of Taylor County Airport, Medford,
WI by removing the segment within 2.7 miles each side of the 162[deg]
bearing from the airport extending from the 6.8-mile radius to 7 miles
southeast of the airport due to the decommissioning of the Medford NDB
and cancellation of the NDB approach.
    This action also modifies Class E airspace extending upward from
700 feet above the surface at Waupaca Municipal Airport, Waupaca, WI to
within a 6.6-mile (from a 6.4-mile) radius of the airport and removes
the segment within 2.7 miles each side of the 118[deg] bearing from the
airport, extending from the 6.4-mile radius to 7 miles southeast of the
airport due to the decommissioning of the Waupaca NDB and cancellation
of the NDB approach. Also, the geographic coordinates are corrected to
be in concert with the FAA's aeronautical database.
    This action enhances the safety and management of standard
instrument approach procedures for IFR operations at these airports.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current, is
non-controversial and unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. It, therefore: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action''
under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under
DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26,
1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation
as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter
that only affects air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, does not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures,'' paragraph 5-6.5.a. This airspace action is not expected
to cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no
extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.
