Instructions: Direct your comments to Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OEI-
2018-0566. The EPA's policy is that all comments received will be
included in the public docket without change and may be made available
online at www.regulations.gov, including any personal information
provided, unless the comment includes information claimed to be
Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) or other information for
which disclosure is restricted by statute. Do not submit information
that you consider to be CUI or otherwise protected through
www.regulations.gov. The www.regulations.gov website is an ``anonymous
access'' system for EPA, which means the EPA will not know your
identity or contact information unless you provide it in the body of
your comment. However, over 180 federal agencies use
www.regulations.gov and some may require Personally Identifiable
Information (PII) and some may not. Each agency determines submission
requirements within their own internal processes and standards. EPA has
no requirement of personal information. If you send an email comment
directly to the EPA without going through www.regulations.gov your
email address will be automatically captured and included as part of
the comment that is placed in the public docket and made available on
the internet. If you submit an electronic comment, the EPA recommends
that you include your name and other contact information in the body of
your comment. If the EPA cannot read your comment due to technical
difficulties and cannot contact
[[Page 37871]]
you for clarification, the EPA may not be able to consider your
comment. Electronic files should avoid the use of special characters,
any form of encryption, and be free of any defects or viruses. For
additional information about the EPA's public docket visit the EPA
Docket Center homepage at http://www.epa.gov/epahome/dockets.htm.
Docket: All documents in the docket are listed in the
www.regulations.gov index. Although listed in the index, some
information is not publicly available, e.g., CUI or other information
for which disclosure is restricted by statute. Certain other material,
such as copyrighted material, will be publicly available only in hard
copy. Publicly available docket materials are available either
electronically in www.regulations.gov or in hard copy at the OEI
