Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 72 / Friday, April 15, 2005 / Notices North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS). and are available through the Docket system as indicated below. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: I. General Information Linda Spencer; Environmental Protection Agency; 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, MC 2822T; Washington, DC 20460; phone: 202 566 1651; fax: 202 566 1624; e-mail: Spencer.linda@epa.gov. The standards are comprised of data elements, formats, and definitions. Each standard document provides an overview diagram that depicts the organization of the standard. • Key changes to the standards include: • Identifiers and Code Lists are paired with context data elements. • Contact Information Data Standard—becomes the primary standard for all contact related information and is referenced in other data standards. • Facility Site Identification Data Standard—is restructured to reference rather than replicate appropriate primary standards (e.g., contact information) and to include the Federal Facility Data Standard information. • Federal Facility Data Standard—is incorporated entirely into the Facility Site Identification Data Standard and is no longer its own standard. These standards were developed and revised by the Environmental Data Standards Council (EDSC). The EDSC is a partnership of among EPA, States, Tribes which promotes the efficient sharing of environmental information through the cooperative development of data standards. The EDSC conducted a technical review of the revised standards by U.S. EPA staff and the States in the Fall 2004. These documents reflect changes based on the comments received during the review. The standards are intended for use in environmental data exchanges among States, Tribal entities and the U.S. EPA. They are not meant to dictate or to limit data an agency chooses to collect for its own internal purposes. Changes in data standards should not be interpreted to mean that revisions to databases or information systems are required. What they do mean is that formats for sharing data with Exchange Network (EN) partners will change because the Exchange Network has adopted Shared Schema Components based on the data standards. The SSCs are available on the Exchange Network Web site at https:// www.exchangenetwork.net. The draft data standards and ‘‘Frequently Asked Questions’’ document can be found on EDSC’s Web site https://www.envdatastandards.net/ SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VerDate jul<14>2003 14:34 Apr 14, 2005 Jkt 205001 19951 Environmental Impact Statements; Notice of Availability Filed April 4, 2005 Through April 8, 2005 Pursuant to 40 CFR 1506.9.
