| 2016-21204 | NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule Implementation Guidance | Rule | The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently promulgated the NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule ("final rule") to modernize Clean Water Act reporting for municipalities, industries, and other facilities by converting to an electronic data reporting system. This final rule 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. This action will save 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. This regulation will help 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 final rule requires EPA to publish 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. This listing must identify for NPDES-regulated facilities the initial recipient of their NPDES electronic data submissions and the due date for these NPDES electronic data submissions. This Federal Register document provides an overview of the "initial recipient" term as well as the listing of the initial recipients by state, tribe, and territory and by NPDES data group and the due date for NPDES electronic data submissions. In accordance with the final rule, EPA will update this listing on its Web site and in the Federal Register if there are any changes. | 2016-09-09 | 2016 | 9 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2016/09/09/2016-21204/npdes-electronic-reporting-rule-implementation-guidance | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2016-09-09/pdf/2016-21204.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently promulgated the NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule ("final rule") to modernize Clean Water Act reporting for municipalities, industries, and other facilities by converting to an electronic data... |
