docket ID number and specific PMN 

number or TME number in the subject 

line on the first page of your comment. 

61490 Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 201 / Tuesday, October 19, 2004 / Notices 

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 email 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 http://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 OPPT–2004–0120. 

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 OPPT–2004–0120 

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 email 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 

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.

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?
