agencies. Ultimately, we envision that

ES would be available for all of the

constituent DOT agencies; although at

this time, not all have fully consolidated

into the DMS. To ensure the quality of

the product developed, DOT is

evaluating its internal needs as well as

those of the general public. Substantial

changes to the DMS business processes

and procedures and to agency filing

requirements may be needed.

This notice is intended to inform the

public about, and to solicit public

comment on, electronic submission and

any necessary changes to our filing

requirements. It may be downloaded

from the DMS Web Site News Page

located at http://dms.dot.gov by clicking

on the News Link. The questions are

intended only to elicit any thoughts and

ideas you may have on the ES

enhancement to DMS.

User-System Interaction

1. What is your current use of DMS?

2. What capabilities would you like to

see in the ES system?

3. Are there any other systems that

you use now or are aware of that we

should look at in developing ES?

4. What method should DMS use to

send/receive information using ES? For

example, e-mail, dial-in, Netscape,

Internet Explorer, etc.

5. Should the DMS notify you that

your document has: (1) arrived; and (2)

been accepted?

6. In case the document is rejected,

what information should the DMS send

back to the submitter? (e.g., time of

submission, reason for rejection).

7. Should the DMS provide submitters

with an electronic submission form to

fill out with information such as

organization, docket id, name and

address, point of contact, etc.? Filling

out such a form could take some time,

but could ensure better accuracy. The

DMS staff would file the submitter’s

information as submitted rather than

entering it into a record upon receipt,

possibly incorrectly.

Document Size and Format

1. How many pages are in the largest

documents you have ever submitted?

2. How many documents do you

submit on average each day? Each

month?

3. What word processing software do

you use to prepare your documents?

(e.g., Word Perfect (WP), Microsoft

Word, etc.)

4. What charts or graphics software

does the DMS need to accommodate?

(e.g., Power Point, Harvard Graphics,

Corel Draw, Freelance.)

Document Date and Time

1. Would you find it useful if you

were able to submit documents outside

normal business hours?

Security

1. Should the DMS require a unique

login id/password to submit a document

electronically?

2. Do you have a need to submit

comments anonymously?

3. If so, how could the DMS staff

contact you in case your submission is

incomplete or additional information is

needed?

4. Is it important that the DMS

validate the identity of the sender of a

document?

5. Should ES allow for encryption in

order to protect the contents of a

document during submission?

General

1. Are there any other special needs

that we should consider?

2. Are there any additional

capabilities the ES system should have?
