comment, EPA recommends that you include your name and other contact
information in the body of your comment and with any disk or CD-ROM you
submit. 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. Electronic files should avoid the use of special
characters, any form of encryption, and be free of any defects or
viruses. For additional instructions on submitting comments, go to the
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section of this document.

http://www.regulations.gov index. Although listed in the index, some

CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the
specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that includes 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.

specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) part or section number.
    • Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives
and substitute language for your requested changes.
    • Describe any assumptions and provide any technical
information and/or data that you used.
    • If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how you arrived
at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be reproduced.
    • Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns, and
suggest alternatives.
