An electronic version of the 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 access 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 will not be available for public viewing in the official public docket or in E-Docket. EPA’s policy is that copyrighted material will not be placed in E-Docket but will be referenced there and will be available as printed material in the official public docket. If you intend to submit comments to EPA, please note that it is EPA’s policy to make public comments available for public viewing as received and without change at the EPA Docket Center or in E-Docket. This policy applies to VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:11 Dec 01, 2005 Jkt 205001 information submitted electronically or in paper form, except where restricted by copyright, CBI, or statute. When EPA identifies a comment containing copyrighted material, EPA will provide a reference to that material in the version of the comment that is 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. Public comments that are mailed or delivered to the Docket will be scanned and placed in E-Docket. Where practical, physical objects will be photographed, and the photograph will be placed in EDocket 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 ensure that your comments are submitted within the specified comment period. Comments received after the closing date will be marked ‘‘late,’’ and may only be considered if time permits. If you submit 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 this contact information 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 a comment will be included as part of the comment that is placed in the official public docket and made available in E-Docket. If EPA cannot read your comment due to technical difficulties and cannot contact you for clarification, it may delay or preclude consideration of your comment.

Comments may be sent by electronic mail (e-mail) to ORD.Docket@epa.gov, Attention: Docket ID No. ORD–2004– 0018. 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 comment 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 in E-Docket. You may submit comments on a disk or CD–ROM that you mail to the OEI Docket mailing address. Files will be accepted in WordPerfect, Word, or PDF 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 of the comments. For attachments, provide an index, number pages consecutively with the comments, and submit an unbound original and three copies. Dated: November 23, 2005. Peter W.
