As discussed in the September 27, 

2005, Federal Register notice, the 

AALM represents EPA’s latest efforts to 

develop tools to model human lead 

exposure, and it builds on EPA’s prior 

experience in lead modeling. See that 

notice for further background 

information.

notice on October 14, 2005 (70 FR

review draft of the All-Ages Lead Model 

(AALM) Version 1.05, at a public

Lead Model (AALM) Review Panel. 

Public comments received during the 

external review comment period will be 

provided to the SAB review panel. 

II. How To Submit Technical Comments 

to EPA’s E-Docket 

EPA has established an official public 

docket for information pertaining to the 

external review draft of the AALM, 

Docket ID No. ORD–2005–0026. The 

official public docket is the collection of 

materials, excluding Confidential 

Business Information (CBI) or other 

information whose disclosure is 

restricted by statute that is available for 

public viewing at the Office of 

Environmental Information (OEI) Docket 

in the Headquarters EPA Docket Center, 

EPA West Building, Room B102, 1301 

Constitution Ave., NW., Washington, 

DC. The EPA Docket Center Public 

Reading Room is open from 8:30 a.m. to 

4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, 

excluding legal holidays. The telephone 

number for the Public Reading Room is 

202–566–1744, and the telephone 

number for the OEI Docket is 202–566–

1752; facsimile: 202–566–1753; or email: ORD.Docket@epa.gov. 

An electronic version of the official 

public docket is available through EPA’s 

electronic public docket and comment 

system, E-Docket. You may use EDocket at http://www.epa.gov/edocket/ 

to submit or view public comments, to 

access the index listing of the contents 

of the official public docket, and to view 

66836 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 212 / Thursday, November 3, 2005 / Notices 

those documents in the public docket 

that are available electronically. Once in 

the system, select ‘‘search,’’ then key in 

the appropriate docket identification 

number. 

Certain types of information will not 

be placed in E-Docket. Information 

claimed as CBI and other information 

with disclosure restricted by statute, 

also not included in the official public 

docket, will not be available for public 

viewing in E-Docket. Copyrighted 

material also will not be placed in EDocket but will be referenced there and 

available as printed material in the 

official public docket. 

Persons submitting public comments 

should note that EPA’s policy makes the 

information available as received and at 

no charge for public viewing at the EPA 

Docket Center or in E-Docket. This 

policy applies to information submitted 

electronically or in paper form, except 

where restricted by copyright, CBI, or 

statute. 

Unless restricted as above, public 

comments submitted on computer disks 

that are mailed or delivered to the 

docket will be transferred to E-Docket. 

Physical objects will be photographed, 

where practical, and the photograph 

will be placed in E-Docket along with a 

brief description written by the docket 

staff. 

You may submit public comments 

electronically, by mail, by facsimile, or 

by hand delivery/courier. To ensure 

proper receipt by EPA, include the 

appropriate docket identification 

number with your submission. Please 

adhere to the specified submitting 

period. Public comments received or 

submitted past the closing date will be 

marked ‘‘late’’ and may only be 

considered if time permits. 

If you submit public comments 

electronically, EPA recommends that 

you include your name, mailing 

address, and an e-mail address or other 

details for contacting you. Also include 

these contact details on the outside of 

any disk or CD–ROM you submit, and 

in any cover letter accompanying the 

disk or CD–ROM. This ensures that you 

can be identified as the person 

submitting the public comments and 

allows EPA to contact you in case the 

Agency cannot read what you submit 

due to technical difficulties or needs to 

clarify issues raised by what you 

submit. If EPA cannot read what you 

submit due to technical difficulties and 

cannot contact you for clarification, it 

may delay or prohibit the Agency’s 

consideration of the public comments. 

To access EPA’s electronic public 

docket from the EPA Internet Home 

Page, select ‘‘Information Sources,’’

‘‘Dockets,’’ and ‘‘EPA Dockets.’’ Once in 

the system, select ‘‘search,’’ and key in 

Docket ID No. ORD–2005–0026. The 

system is an ‘‘anonymous access’’

system, which means EPA will not 

know your identity, e-mail address, or 

other contact details unless you provide 

it in the body of your comment. 

Public comments may be sent by 

electronic mail (e-mail) to 

ORD.Docket@epa.gov, Attention Docket 

ID No. ORD–2005–0026. In contrast to 

EPA’s electronic public docket, EPA’s email system is not an ‘‘anonymous 

access’’ system. If you send an e-mail 

directly to the docket without going 

through EPA’s E-Docket, EPA’s e-mail 

system automatically captures your email address, and it becomes part of the 

information in the official public docket 

and is made available in EPA’s EDocket. 

You may submit public comments on 

a disk or CD–ROM mailed to the OEI 

Docket mailing address. Files will be 

accepted in WordPerfect, Word, or PDF 

file format. Avoid the use of special 

characters and any form of encryption. 

If you provide public comments in 

writing, please submit one unbound 

original, with pages numbered 

consecutively, and three copies. For 

attachments, provide an index, number 

pages consecutively with the main text, 

and submit an unbound original and 

three copies.
