Docket Center, EPA West, Room 3334,
1301 Constitution Ave., NW.,
Washington, DC. The EPA Docket
Center Public Reading Room is open

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.
An electronic version of the public
docket is available through https://
www.regulations.gov. You may use the
https://www.regulations.gov to view the
settlement agreement, 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. Once in the
system, select ‘‘search,’’ then key in the
appropriate docket identification
number.
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 online at https://
www.regulations.gov without change,
unless the comment contains
copyrighted material, CBI, or other
information whose disclosure is
restricted by statute. Information
claimed as CBI and other information
whose disclosure is restricted by statute
is not included in the official public
docket or in the electronic public
docket. EPA’s policy is that copyrighted
material, including copyrighted material
contained in a public comment, will not
be placed in EPA’s electronic public
docket but will be available only in
printed, paper form in the official public
docket. Although not all docket
materials may be available
electronically, you may still access any
of the publicly available docket

the body of your comment and with any
disk or CD ROM you submit. 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. 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

Use of the https://www.regulations.gov
Web site to submit comments to EPA
electronically is EPA’s preferred method
for receiving comments. The electronic
public docket 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.
In contrast to EPA’s electronic public
docket, EPA’s electronic mail (e-mail)
system is not an ‘‘anonymous access’’
system. If you send an e-mail comment
directly to the Docket without going
through https://www.regulations.gov,
your e-mail address is automatically
captured and included as part of the
comment that is placed in the official
public docket, and made available in
EPA’s electronic public docket.

close of the comment period will be
marked ‘‘late.’’ EPA is not required to
consider these late comments.
If you submit an electronic comment,
EPA recommends that you include your
name, mailing address, and an e-mail
address or other contact information in

State Park, the English State Salt Marsh Wildlife Refuge/Management
Area, and the Weir River Area of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC)
are all located within the proposed boundaries of this petition. There
are approximately eight marinas, five public boat ramps, and over a
dozen beaches located within the proposed No Discharge Area.
Both recreational and commercial shell fishermen use the area.
There are ten designated Shellfish Growing Areas representing over
49,500 acres of productive shellfish beds in the area supporting soft
shell clams, blue mussels, razor clams, quahogs, bay scallops, oysters,
and surf clams. The area supports a thriving commercial and
recreational fishing fleet. The proposed area has a variety of rich
natural habitats, and supports a wide diversity of species.
