Hi Tom,

Below is a list of the files we ha ve downloaded that are in question.

- Well Header Data 111412 (Available at: http://wogcc.state.wy.us/urecordsMenu.cfm?Skip='Y'&oops=ID24928 )

- Production Data (Available at: http://wogcc.state.wy.us/WebUpFileapis.cfm?oops=1 )

For this, we uploaded a file of well API num bers and downloaded the resulting excel file.

We would like to publish the excel file with production data and the whole well header database in the public record. It would be greatly appreciated if you could res pond to this email specifying whether or not these data files are copyrighted or not. If not , these files will be made available to the public on www.regulations.gov at the time of proposal. If the data is copyrighted, it will only be made ava ilable to the public at a read only computer station in Washington D.C..

Please let me know if you have any questions!

Sincerely,

Hi Mr. Kropatsch,

My name is Daisy Wang and I work for East ern Research Group, Inc., a contractor for the United States Environmental Protection Agency. We are supporting EPA with a rule making that will cover the unconventional oil and gas extraction industry ( http://water.epa.gov/sc itech/wastetech/guide /oilandgas/unconv.cfm ).

As part of the rulemaking process, we dow nloaded data from the Wyoming Oil and Gas Conservation Commission website for analysis. EPA has determined that they would like to make these analyses and the raw data availabl e in the public record to support the rulemaking. We noticed that the website has a blanket copyright claim, but it is unclear what is covered under this claim. Could you help us to clarify if specifi c data files are copyright ed or not? If so, I can send you a list of the data files that are in questio n. If not, could you please point us to the best person who can answer our question?4 I recently left you a voicemail with this same information, but hopefully it will be easier to read in an e-mail! Thank you in advance for your help.

Sincerely,
