How to Submit Comments to EPA’s EDocket 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 email: 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 EDocket at https://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 EDocket. 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 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 EDocket 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 32771 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 EDocket, 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. Dated: May 31, 2005. Peter W. Preuss, Director, National Center for Environmental Assessment.
