Abstract: In response to the
Presidential memorandum, the
eRulemaking Program launched the
Regulations.gov ‘feedback exchange’
Web site in May 2009. This interactive
Web site will showcase new
technologies being considered for
Regulations.gov. The ‘feedback
exchange’ will serve as a learning
laboratory for open government,
enabling the public to provide input on
the Regulations.gov interface, build a
community of practice on the Federal
regulatory development process, and
ensure that the eRulemaking Program
can efficiently manage federal resources
by testing new tools before they are
launched.
The Regulations.gov ‘feedback
exchange’ Web site will provide the
public with a preview of new
technologies considered for
Regulations.gov. It will also enable the
public to provide feedback on these
technologies. Technologies considered
for the Regulations.gov ‘feedback
exchange’ include: User Profiles;
Comment Threads and Wikis; Ratings,
Polls, and Tagging; an interactive
Educational Tool; and an Information
Export capability. These technologies
will be deployed iteratively, with
components deployed upon the site’s
release in May 2009 and during
subsequent upgrades to the Web site.
User profiles enable the public to
register on the site and pre-load
submitter information for later use as
well as save their own personalized
searches, RSS feeds, and e-mail alerts
without the use of persistent cookies.
Comment Threads allow the public to
enter into virtual conversations with
one another about a topic. Wikis enable
the public to collaboratively develop
and modify narrative descriptions about
a topic. Ratings and Polls allow the
public to indicate a preference for a
topic or issue via the selection of stars
or thumbs up/thumbs down icons
which graphically provide an at-aglance indication of public sentiment
and can simplify navigation. Tagging
provides the public with the ability to
tag or label information they or someone
else has posted to the site to ease
navigation and to promote the formation
of common interest categories. The
Educational Tool will inform the public
about the Federal rulemaking process
through interactive text and images. The
Data Export capability enables the
public to download and review the

contents of a rulemaking docket as well
as mix and match such information with
other information in a new way (also
known as a ‘‘mash-up’’). The
Regulations.gov ‘feedback exchange’
will rely on voluntary feedback from
Government, Industry, Academia and
Citizenry to improve Regulations.gov as
time goes on.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 35 hours per year.
Burden means the total time, effort, or
financial resources expended by persons
to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose
or provide information to or for a
Federal agency. This includes the time
needed to review instructions; develop,
acquire, install, and utilize technology
and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; adjust the
existing ways to comply with any
previously applicable instructions and
requirements which have subsequently
changed; train personnel to be able to
respond to a collection of information;
search data sources; complete and
review the collection of information;
and transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.
Respondents/Affected Entities:
Anyone who chooses to visit
Regulations.gov.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
1000.
Frequency of Response: Occasionally.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
35 hours.
Estimated Capital or Operations &
Maintenance Annual Costs: $0.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no
change in the total estimated burden
currently identified in the OMB
Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens.
Dated: September 1, 2009.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) invites
nominations from a diverse range of
qualified candidates to be considered
for appointment to its Local
Government Advisory Committee
(LGAC). Vacancies are anticipated to be
filled by January 2010. Sources in
addition to this Federal Register Notice
may also be utilized in the solicitation
of nominees.
Background: The LGAC is a federal
advisory committee chartered under the
Federal Advisory Committee Act
(FACA), Public Law 92–463. EPA
established the LGAC in 1993 to provide
independent advice to the EPA
Administrator on a broad range of
environmental issues affecting local
government. Members serve as local
elected and appointed officials
representing: counties, cities, and other
local governments; small communities;
tribal governments; and state
governments. Members are appointed by
the EPA Administrator for two year
terms with the possibility of
reappointment to a second term. The
LGAC usually meets 2–3 times annually
and the average workload for the
members is approximately 5 to 10 hours
per month. EPA provides
reimbursement for travel and other
incidental expenses associated with
official government business. EPA is
seeking nominations from mayors, city
council members, county
commissioners and executives, city
managers, small town officials, public
works and environmental directors,
tribal governments, and state officials
including legislators and environmental
directors. Nominees will be considered
according to the mandates of FACA,
which requires committees to maintain
diversity across a broad range of
constituencies, sectors, interests, and
groups. EPA strongly encourages
nominations from women and
minorities.
The following criteria will be used to
evaluate nominees:
—Experience serving as an elected
official;
—Experience serving as an appointed
official for a state, county, city or
tribe;
—Experience in working at the national
level on local governments issues;
—Demonstrated experience with
environmental and sustainability
issues;
—Executive management level
experience with membership in
broad-based networks;
—Excellent interpersonal, oral and
written communication, and
consensus-building skills.
