    Section 309(a) of the Clean Air Act requires that EPA make public 
its comments on EISs issued by other Federal agencies. EPA's comment 
letters on EISs are available at: http://www.epa.gov/compliance/nepa/eisdata.html.

Information

    Starting October 1, 2012, EPA will not accept paper copies or CDs 
of EISs for filing purposes; all submissions on or after October 1, 
2012 must be made through e-NEPA.
    While this system eliminates the need to submit paper or CD copies 
to EPA to meet filing requirements, electronic submission does not

electronic reporting site--https://cdx.epa.gov/epa_home.asp
