change and to make the comments 

available online at www.regulations.gov, 

including any personal information 

provided, unless a comment includes 

information claimed to be Confidential

restricted by statute. Do not submit 

information through 

www.regulations.gov or email that you

include your name and other contact 

information in the body of your

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 information
