EPA will consider ERG’s report and the
public comments. Any resulting
revisions to the proposed indicators or
any changes to the list of proposed
indicators will be discussed within EPA
and with our federal agency partners.
The external review draft of the EPA
ROE 2006 Technical Document is
expected in spring/summer 2006.
How to Submit Comments to EPA’s E-
Docket
EPA has established an official public
docket for information pertaining to the
Proposed Indicators—EPA ROE 2006,
Docket ID No. ORD–2005–0021. The
official public docket is the collection of
materials, excluding Confidential
Business Information (CBI) or other
information for which disclosure is
restricted by statute, that is available for
public viewing at the Office of
Environmental Information (OEI) Docket
in the Headquarters EPA Docket Center,
EPA West Building, Room B102, 1301
Constitution Ave., NW., Washington,
DC. The EPA Docket Center Public
Reading Room is open from 8:30 a.m. to
4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday,
excluding legal holidays. The telephone
number for the Public Reading Room is
202–566–1744, and the telephone
number for the OEI Docket is 202–566–
1752; facsimile: 202–566–1753; or e-
mail: ORD.Docket@epa.gov.
An electronic version of the official
public docket is available through EPA’s
electronic public docket and comment
system, E-Docket. You may use E-
Docket at http://www.epa.gov/edocket/
to submit or view public comments, to
access the index of the contents of the
official public docket, and to view those
documents in the public docket that are
available electronically. Once in the
system, select ‘‘search,’’ then key in the
appropriate docket identification
number.
Certain types of information will not
be placed in E-Docket. Information
claimed as CBI and other information
for which disclosure is restricted by
statute are not included in the official
public docket and also will not be
available for public viewing in E-
Docket. Copyrighted material will not be
placed in E-Docket, but will be
referenced there and available as
printed material in the official public
docket.
If you intend to submit comments to
EPA, please note that it is EPA policy
to make comments available for public
viewing just as they are received at the
EPA Docket Center or in E-Docket. This
policy applies to information submitted
electronically or in paper form, except
where restricted by copyright, CBI, or
statute. When EPA identifies a comment
VerDate jul<14>2003 14:25 Jun 03, 2005 Jkt 205001
32771
containing copyrighted material, EPA
will provide a reference to that material
in the version of the comment placed in
EPA’s electronic public docket; the
entire printed comment, including the
copyrighted material, will be available
in the official public docket.
Public comments submitted on
computer disks that are mailed or
delivered to the docket will be
transferred to E-Docket. Physical objects
will be photographed, where practical,
and the photograph will be placed in E-
Docket along with a brief description
written by the docket staff.
You may submit comments
electronically, by mail, by facsimile, or
by hand delivery/courier. To ensure
proper receipt by EPA, include the
appropriate docket identification
number with your submission. Please
adhere to the specified submitting
period; public comments received past
the closing date will be marked ‘‘late’’
and may only be considered if time
permits.
If you submit public comments
electronically, EPA recommends that
you include your name, mailing
address, and an e-mail address or other
contact information in the body of your
comment. Also include these contact
details on the outside of any submitted
disk or CD–ROM, and in any cover letter
accompanying the disk or CD–ROM.
This ensures that you can be identified
as the person submitting the comment
and allows EPA to contact you in case
the Agency cannot read your
submission due to technical difficulties,
or needs further information on the
substance of your comment. EPA will
not edit your comment, and any
identifying or contact information
provided in the body of the comment
will be included as part of the comment
placed in the official public docket and
made available in E-Docket. If EPA
cannot read what you submit due to
technical difficulties and cannot contact
you for clarification, it may delay or
preclude EPA’s consideration of your
comments.
Electronic submission of comments
via E-Docket is the preferred method for
receiving comments. To access EPA’s
electronic public docket from the EPA
Internet Home Page, select ‘‘Information
Sources,’’ ‘‘Dockets,’’ and ‘‘EPA
Dockets.’’ Once in the system, select
‘‘search,’’ and key in Docket ID No.
ORD–2005–0021. The system is an
‘‘anonymous access’’ system, which
means EPA will not know your identity,
e-mail address, or other contact details
unless you provide it in the body of
your comment.
Comments may be sent by electronic
mail (e-mail) to ORD.Docket@epa.gov,
PO 00000 Frm 00029 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\06JNN1.SGM
Attention Docket ID No. ORD–2005–
0021. In contrast to EPA’s electronic
public docket, EPA’s e-mail system is
not an ‘‘anonymous access’’ system. If
you send an e-mail directly to the
docket without going through EPA’s E-
Docket, EPA’s e-mail system
automatically captures your e-mail
address, and it becomes part of the
information in the official public docket
and is made available in E-Docket.
You may submit comments on a disk
or CD–ROM mailed to the OEI Docket
mailing address. Files will be accepted
in WordPerfect, Word, or PDF file
format. Avoid the use of special
characters and any form of encryption.
If you provide comments in writing,
please submit one unbound original
with pages numbered consecutively,
and three copies. For attachments,
provide an index, number pages
consecutively with the main text, and
submit an unbound original and three
copies.
