New RSP Service for 316(b) Annual Reports

Description

This project involves the development of a new RSP service to electronically accept 316(b) annual reports, and their data, in a format that is consistent with the federal E-Reporting Rule. Further, this project will also involve modernization of NJEMS to accommodate the display/storage of any additional data elements and enhance the ICIS-NPDES Data Maintenance software to accommodate flow of the applicable information into ICIS.

Problem Statement

None

Project Justification

The Federal eReporting rule, which was adopted on 10/22/15 with an effective date of 12/21/2015, requires regulated entities to electronically submit 316(b) Annual Reports starting on December 21, 2020 (i.e. Phase 2 of the rule). On January 31, 2020, EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler signed the "NPDES eRule Phase 2 Extension" proposed rule which proposes extending the compliance deadline for implementation of Phase 2 of the eRule by three years, from December 21, 2020 to December 21, 2023. In order for the State to fulfill its regulatory requirements to be the initial recipient of this information, an RSP service must be developed to accept all necessary information electronically.

Since NJ is no longer going to be the initial recipient of the 316(b) reports, the IPTD 108 can be removed from the project list.  This is the reason for closing it out in the system.
