| 2020-02889 | NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule-Phase 2 Extension | Proposed Rule | EPA published the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Electronic Reporting Rule ("NPDES eRule") on 22 October 2015. The 2015 rule required EPA and states to modernize Clean Water Act (CWA) reporting. The NPDES eRule included a phased implementation schedule. In this notice, EPA proposes postponing the compliance deadlines for Phase 2 implementation by three years and providing states with additional flexibility to request additional time as needed. Further, this notice proposes changes to the NPDES eRule that would clarify existing requirements and eliminate some duplicative or outdated reporting requirements. Taken together, these changes are designed to save the NPDES authorized programs considerable resources, make reporting easier for NPDES-regulated entities, streamline permit renewals, ensure full exchange of NPDES program data between states and EPA, enhance public transparency, improve environmental decision- making, and protect human health and the environment. | 2020-02-28 | 2020 | 2 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2020/02/28/2020-02889/npdes-electronic-reporting-rule-phase-2-extension | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2020-02-28/pdf/2020-02889.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | EPA published the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Electronic Reporting Rule ("NPDES eRule") on 22 October 2015.
