Cross-Media Electronic Reporting Rule

Status of CROMERR Applications from States

On this page:


The information on this page reflects the status of CROMERR applications received from states as of October 2016. 

Overall CROMERR Application Progress Statistics

  • Almost 90 applications received since CROMERR's inception have been approved.  This is also approximately 90% of the total.  Most of these applications were received January 2010 or later.
  • Approximately 80-90% of current applicants pursue off-the-shelf approaches.  With the increased adoption of off-the-shelf approaches, approximately 80% of applicants are approved within 6-12 weeks.  Because all aspects of the approach must be reviewed for CROMERR compliance, applicants pursuing custom-developed approaches are typically approved within 6-12 months. 
  • Approximately half of state environmental agencies have been approved for "enterprise" systems designed with the vision of providing for CROMERR-compliant reporting across that agency's EPA-authorized programs.  This approval does not prohibit state environmental agencies from pursuing additional systems.  Further, not all EPA programs are delegated to state environmental agencies.  An additional half dozen state environmental agencies are planning for "enterprise" systems.  

NOTE:  The above statistics exclude applications withdrawn in process, typically due to change in system approach.  Amended applications are counted as one.  New applications from previously approved systems submitted for the purposes of adding authorized programs or for the evaluation of significant changes to approved functionality are counted as two.

Number of unique CROMERR applications submitted by state 

Total Number of Applications (not including local government)Figure 1 indicates the number of unique CROMERR applications submitted formally by each state regardless of status. Note that a single application submitted may cover multiple EPA-authorized programs and may contain multiple systems, or one system may collect multiple regulatory reports. So, the number of applications submitted is not necessarily reflective of a state's relative progress towards electronic reporting under its EPA-authorized programs.

Status of each state's CROMERR approval progress under its EPA-authorized programs

Number of Approved Programs/ Number of Approved Programs   e-Reporting Subject to CROMERR   Providing Applicant Consultation   Draft Application Received Formal Review in Process (not including local govt)Figure 2 indicates the status of a state's overall CROMERR approval progress under its EPA-authorized programs under title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). The map reflects state-level EPA-authorized programs with planned or existing electronic reporting across multiple agencies within that state. It shows the overall progress towards approval by state agencies for those EPA-authorized programs for which they currently plan to apply for or are actively seeking EPA approval under CROMERR. Approval is not necessarily reflective of electronic reporting availability, and states may have additional EPA-authorized programs for which there are currently no known electronic reporting plans.

Status of formal CROMERR applications from state agencies

The table below represents the status of formal CROMERR applications received by EPA from state agencies for both planned or existing electronic reporting systems. 

Please note: 

  • States and territories not listed on this table have no known planned or existing systems known to EPA that are subject to CROMERR.
  • System names may be working names or the name of the off-the-shelf product used for the system; the state may have other names for the system.
  • Approved systems may provide CROMERR compliance for multiple legacy or backend systems which are not reflected in this table.
  • Some states are allowed to continue operating legacy systems while they work towards CROMERR-compliant reporting.
  • EPA approval of a CROMERR application does not necessarily reflect a system’s availability nor the ability to submit particular regulatory information electronically.
  • EPA publishes notices regarding the approval of CROMERR applications in the Federal Register. Access all CROMERR Federal Register notices to see the official record of approved applications.
