I. Background
The Toxic Substances Control Act
(TSCA), 15 U.S.C. 2609 section 10(g),
authorizes EPA and other Federal
agencies to establish and coordinate a
system for exchange among Federal,
state, and local authorities of research
and development results respecting
toxic chemical substances and mixtures,
including a system to facilitate and
promote the development of standard
data format and analysis and consistent
testing procedures. Through FOSTTA,
the CIMP focuses on EPA’s chemical
program and works to develop a more
coordinated effort involving Federal,
state, and tribal agencies. P2 promotes
the prevention ethic across society,
helping to integrate P2 into mainstream
environmental activities at the Federal
level and among the states and tribes.
TAP concentrates on chemical and
prevention issues that are most relevant
to the tribes, including lead control and
abatement, tribal traditional/subsistence
lifeways, and hazard communications
and outreach. FOSTTA’s vision is to
focus on major policy-level issues of
importance to states and tribes, recruit
more senior state and tribal leaders,
increase outreach to all 50 states and
some 560 Federally recognized tribes,
and vigorously seek ways to engage the
states and tribes in ongoing substantive
discussions on complex and often times
controversial environmental issues.
The Environmental Council of the
States (ECOS), in partnership with the
National Tribal Environmental Council
(NTEC) and EPA’s Office of Pollution
Prevention and Toxics (OPPT) are cosponsoring the meetings. As part of a
cooperative agreement, ECOS and NTEC
facilitate ongoing efforts of the state and
tribal leaders and OPPT to increase
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 208001
understanding and improve
collaboration on toxic chemicals and
pollution prevention issues, and to
continue a dialogue on how federal
environmental programs can best be
implemented among the states, tribes,
and EPA.
III. How Can I Request to Participate in
this Meeting?
You may submit a request to
participate in this meeting to the
technical person listed under FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. Do not
submit any information in your request
that is considered CBI. Requests to
participate in the meeting, identified by
docket ID number EPA–HQ–OPPT–
2006–0117, must be received on or
before March 9, 2006.
IV. The Meeting
In the interest of time and efficiency,
the meetings are structured to provide
maximum opportunity for state, tribal,
and EPA participants to discuss items
on the predetermined agenda. At the
discretion of the chair, an effort will be
made to accommodate participation by
observers attending the proceedings.
The FOSTTA representatives and EPA
will collaborate on environmental
protection and pollution prevention
issues. The states and the tribes
identified the following tentative agenda
items:
1. National High Production Volume
Data Users Conference.
2. Demonstration of the High
Production Volume Information System.
3. Pollution Prevention Project Work
Plan.
4. Pollution Prevention Measurement.
5. Healthy School Environments
Assessment Tool.
6. Proposed Rule Lead: Renovation,

replaced on November 25, 2005 by an enhanced federal-wide electronic
docket management and comment system located at https://
www.regulations.gov/. Follow the on-line instructions.
An electronic version of the public docket is available through
EPA's electronic public docket and comment system, EPA Dockets. You may
use EPA Dockets at https://www.epa.gov/edocket/ to submit or view public
comments, access the index listing of the contents of the official
public docket, and to access those documents in the public docket that
are available electronically. Although not all docket materials may be
available electronically, you may still access any of the publicly
available docket materials through the docket facility identified in
Unit I.B.1. Once in the system, select ``search,'' then key in the
appropriate docket ID number.
Certain types of information will not be placed in the EPA Dockets.
Information claimed as CBI and other information whose disclosure is
restricted by statute, which is not included in the official public
docket, will not be available for public viewing in EPA's electronic
public docket. EPA's policy is that copyrighted material will not be
placed in EPA's electronic public docket but will be available only in
printed, paper form in the official public docket. To the extent
feasible, publicly available docket materials will be made available in
EPA's electronic public docket. When a document is selected from the
index list in EPA Dockets, the system will identify whether the
document is available for viewing in EPA's electronic public docket.
Although not all docket materials may be available electronically, you
may still access any of the publicly available docket materials through
the docket facility identified in Unit I.B.1. EPA intends to work
towards providing electronic access to all of the publicly available
docket materials through EPA's electronic public docket.
For public commenters, it is important to note that EPA's policy is
that public comments, whether submitted electronically or in paper,
will be made available for public viewing in EPA's electronic public
docket as EPA receives them and without change, unless the comment
contains copyrighted material, CBI, or other information whose
disclosure is restricted by 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 public docket.
Public comments submitted on computer disks that are mailed or
delivered to the docket will be transferred to EPA's electronic public
docket. Public comments that are mailed or delivered to the docket will
be scanned and placed in EPA's electronic public docket. Where
practical, physical objects will be photographed, and the photograph
will be placed in EPA's electronic public docket along with a brief
description written by the docket staff.
C. How and To Whom Do I Submit Comments?
You may submit comments electronically, by mail, or through hand
delivery/courier. To ensure proper receipt by EPA, identify the
appropriate docket ID number and specific PMN number or TME number in
the subject line on the first page of your comment. Please ensure that
your comments are submitted within the specified comment period.
Comments received after the close of the comment period will be marked
``late.'' EPA is not required to consider these late comments. If you
wish to submit CBI or information that is otherwise protected by
statute, please follow the instructions in Unit I.D. Do not use EPA
Dockets or e-mail to submit CBI or information protected by statute.
1. Electronically. If you submit an electronic comment as
prescribed in this unit, 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 disk or CD ROM you submit, and in any cover letter
accompanying the disk or CD ROM. This ensures that you can be
identified as the submitter of the comment and allows EPA to contact
you in case EPA cannot read your comment due to technical difficulties
or needs further information on the substance of your comment. EPA's
policy is that 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 EPA's electronic public docket. If EPA cannot
read your comment due to technical difficulties and cannot contact you
for clarification, EPA may not be able to consider your comment.
i. EPA Dockets. Your use of EPA's electronic public docket to
submit comments to EPA electronically is EPA's preferred method for
receiving comments. Go directly to EPA Dockets at https://www.epa.gov/
edocket/, and follow the online instructions for submitting comments.
Once in the system, select ``search,'' and then key in docket ID number
EPA-HQ-OPPT-2006-0129. The system is an ``anonymous access'' system,
which means EPA will not know your identity, e-mail address, or other
contact information unless you provide it in the body of your comment.
ii. E-mail. Comments may be sent by e-mail to oppt.ncic@epa.gov,
Attention: Docket ID Number EPA-HQ-OPPT-2006-0129 and PMN Number or TME
Number. 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 electronic
public docket, EPA's e-mail system automatically captures your e-mail
address. E-mail addresses that are automatically captured by EPA's e-
mail system are included as part of the comment that is placed in the
official
[[Page 10969]]
public docket, and made available in EPA's electronic public docket.
iii. Disk or CD ROM. You may submit comments on a disk or CD ROM
that you mail to the mailing address identified in Unit I.C.2. These
electronic submissions will be accepted in WordPerfect or ASCII file
format. Avoid the use of special characters and any form of encryption.
2. By mail. Send your comments to: Document Control Office (7407M),
Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics (OPPT), Environmental
Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20460-
0001.

Document Control Office (DCO) in EPA East Bldg., Rm. 6428, 1201
Constitution Ave., NW., Washington, DC. Attention: Docket ID Number
EPA-HQ-OPPT-200X-0129 and PMN Number or TME Number. The DCO is open
from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding legal holidays.
The telephone number for the DCO is (202) 564-8930.
D. How Should I Submit CBI to the Agency?
Do not submit information that you consider to be CBI
electronically through EPA's electronic public docket or by e-mail. You
may claim information that you submit to EPA as CBI by marking any part
or all of that information as CBI (if you submit CBI on disk or CD ROM,
mark the outside of the disk or CD ROM as CBI and then identify
electronically within the disk or CD ROM the specific information that
is CBI). Information so marked will not be disclosed except in
accordance with procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
In addition to one complete version of the comment that includes
any information claimed as CBI, a copy of the comment that does not
contain the information claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion
in the public docket and EPA's electronic public docket. If you submit
the copy that does not contain CBI on disk or CD ROM, mark the outside
of the disk or CD ROM clearly that it does not contain CBI. Information
not marked as CBI will be included in the public docket and EPA's
electronic public docket without prior notice. If you have any
questions about CBI or the procedures for claiming CBI, please consult
the technical person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
E. What Should I Consider as I Prepare My Comments for EPA?
You may find the following suggestions helpful for preparing your
comments:
1. Explain your views as clearly as possible.
2. Describe any assumptions that you used.
3. Provide copies of any technical information and/or data you used
that support your views.
4. If you estimate potential burden or costs, explain how you
arrived at the estimate that you provide.
5. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns.
6. Offer alternative ways to improve the notice or collection
activity.
7. Make sure to submit your comments by the deadline in this
document.
8. To ensure proper receipt by EPA, be sure to identify the docket
ID number assigned to this action and the specific PMN number you are
commenting on in the subject line on the first page of your response.
You may also provide the name, date, and Federal Register citation.
