ACTION: Notice of data availability. AGENCY: SUMMARY: Notice of availability is hereby given for six revised data standards—Biological Taxonomy, Contact Information, Facility Site Identification, Permitting Information, Tribal Identifier and SIC/NAICS. The Biological Taxonomy Data Standard identifies specific data elements necessary for consistent and unambiguous identification of biological organisms of environmental interest. The Contact Information Data Standard describes a point of contact, address and communication information. The Facility Site Identification Data Standard provides for the unique identification of facilities of environmental interest. The Permitting Information Data Standard incorporates the original permitting standard and extends the scope to include information germane to multiple permitting programs. The Tribal Identifier Data Standard adopts the Bureau of Land Management tribal names and codes necessary to identify federally recognized American Indian and Alaska Native entities. The SIC/ NAICS Data Standard provides information on business activities through reference to the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) and the E:\FR\FM\15APN1.SGM 15APN1 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.

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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://
