Cross-Media Electronic Reporting Rule (CROMERR)

https://www.epa.gov/cromerr

MiEHDWIS now embodies the CROMERR framework, which is responsible for setting standards for electronic report receiving systems to ensure submitters (or certifiers) have valid and active accounts (i.e., have been identity-proofed), have authorized the use of a digital signature in place of their wet signature, have been authorized to submit electronic reports for their respective regulated entities they support, and who have agreed to maintain the integrity and security of their accounts and signing devices.

More specifically, MiEHDWIS can perform the following functions specific to CROMERR:

  • Allow the submitter (certifier) to electronically sign or certify their electronic document submission using a session-based Personal Identification Number (PIN), similar to other multifactor authentication technology we all use when logging into our banks or when completing our taxes.

  • Configure workflows to prompt the user with an acknowledgement checkbox with CROMERR-specific language attesting to the completeness and accuracy of the data their submitting. This functionality can be used on non-CROMERR based workflows, too.

  • Generate a legally bindable artifact, called a Copy of Record (CoR), which stores copies of the original submitted files and a cover sheet containing transaction history associated with the submission (i.e., Account information, date/timestamps, confirmation of PIN usage and checkbox verification).

Inspections

This release contains the following inspection-related features, which are available across existing Program Areas.

  • The ability to capture Latitude and Longitude information against an inspection record.

  • Program Areas can now manage Regulation data and Compliance Items, complete with a priority designation, which can be populated on an electronic form for Inspectors to complete in the field. Custom workflow functions can also copy violations to accompanying inspections records, making it easier to pull data out of the form itself.

  • MiEHDWIS now supports the ability to use your device camera to capture photos and upload them directly against the entity and activity. Although this functionality was built for use with Inspection-based activities, it is available across the entire system where file uploads are available.

Responsiveness (a.k.a, Look and Feel)

Release 14 contains huge improvements to MiEHDWIS more accessible on portable devices such as tablets, phones, and other devices with smaller monitors. Most notably, you will see your dashboards, user profile, electronic signing services (i.e., signature pad), and the object drawer (i.e., Notes, Tasks, Files, etc.) expand and contract to better fit the space you are working with.

Search Enhancements

The release contains various search enhancements across the Campground, Swimming Pool (Establishment), Onsite Wastewater, Septage Hauler, and Septage Waste Receiving Facility program areas and associated activity searches.
