Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 189 / Thursday, September 28, 2000 / Notices 58275

At this time we are inviting comment

on this preliminary list. Comments

received will provide the Agency with

a foundation from which to collectively

consider on-going priority work and

emerging areas as we develop a limited

number of recommended FY 2002/2003

priorities. When submitting responses to

this Notice, commentors should rank

which of the areas listed above should

be a top concern for national focus, as

well as suggesting others not included

on the current list. If additional problem

areas are identified, the commentor

should provide supporting information

relating to the previously listed criteria.

Again, suggested priority areas which

are not chosen may be candidates for

individual Regional or State attention

and/or continued investigation. For

example, information obtained from this

Notice will be helpful to the Agency as

it follows up on the recommendations

from the Innovation Task Force report

(this task force was established by the

National Partnership for Reinventing

Government) to consider the exclusive

or partial use of compliance assistance

as a tool for addressing environmental

risk and/or patterns of noncompliance.

B. Projected Process Time Frames

After receiving stakeholder responses

to this FR priority notice, EPA will

complete analysis of proposed priorities

and discuss the candidates at a

November 2000 enforcement and

compliance assurance priorities

meeting. Recommendations from this

meeting will be forwarded to EPA senior

management for discussion. In January

2001, EPA will issue the draft Office of

Enforcement and Compliance Assurance

FY 2002/2003 Memorandum of

Agreement Guidance to Regions, States

and stakeholders for final review. This

draft guidance will include the

proposed Agency enforcement and

compliance assurance national

priorities. The final MOA guidance

including final priorities will be issued

in April 2001.

C. Review Information

Persons interested in obtaining for

review, further background information

regarding current or proposed FY 2002–

2003 National Enforcement and

Compliance Assurance Priorities may

submit a request for hard copy or

electronic version of information to:

correctiveaction. Results-Based

Approaches to Corrective Action—This

guidance will take the form of an

overview and supporting documents.

Oversight’’ sections are now available

for public review. The ‘‘Results-Based

Approaches to Corrective Action:

Overview’’ defines results-based

corrective action and lists some of the

approaches recommended to help

58276 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 189 / Thursday, September 28, 2000 / Notices

stakeholders achieve program goals.

These approaches include tailored

oversight, procedural flexibility, holistic

approach, presumptive remedies,

performance standards, use of

innovative technologies, targeted data

collection, and facility-lead corrective

action. The first available supporting

document, ‘‘Results-Based Approaches

to Corrective Action: Tailored

Oversight,’’ focuses on implementing

tailored oversight. It provides a

recommended framework for project

managers and owner/operators to

develop an oversight plan tailored to

facility-specific conditions. In the

future, EPA plans to issue additional

supporting documents that deal with

other results-based approaches.

The official record for this notice will

be kept in paper form. Accordingly, we

will transfer all feedback and input

received electronically into paper form

and place them in the official record,

which will also include all comments

submitted directly in writing. The

official record is the paper record

maintained at the RCRA Information

Center.

All input will be thoroughly and

seriously considered by EPA. EPA will

not immediately reply to commenters

electronically other than to seek

clarification of electronic comments that

may be garbled in transmission or

during conversion to paper form, as

discussed above.
