It is important to note that EPA’s 

policy is that public comments, whether 

submitted electronically or in paper, 

will be made available for public 

viewing Online at http:// 

www.regulations.gov without change, 

unless the comment contains 

copyrighted material, CBI, or other 

information whose disclosure is 

restricted by statute. Information 

claimed as CBI and other information 

whose disclosure is restricted by statute 

is not included in the official public 

docket or in the electronic public 

docket. EPA’s policy is that copyrighted 

material, including copyrighted material 

contained in a public comment, will not 

be placed in EPA’s electronic public 

docket but will be available only in 

printed, paper form in the official public 

docket. Although not all docket 

materials may be available 

electronically, you may still access any 

of the publicly available docket 

materials through the EPA Docket 

Center. 

B. How and To Whom Do I Submit 

Comments? 

You may submit comments as 

provided in the ADDRESSES section. 

Please ensure that your comments are 

submitted within the specified comment 

period. Comments received after the 

close of the comment period will be 

marked ‘‘late.’’ EPA is not required to 

consider these late comments. 

If you submit an electronic comment, 

EPA recommends that you include your 

name, mailing address, and an e-mail 

address or other contact information in 

the body of your comment and with any 

disk or CD–ROM you submit. This 

ensures that you can be identified as the 

submitter of the comment and allows 

EPA to contact you in case EPA cannot 

read your comment due to technical 

difficulties or needs further information 

on the substance of your comment. Any 

identifying or contact information 

provided in the body of a comment will 

be included as part of the comment that 

is placed in the official public docket, 

and made available in EPA’s electronic 

public docket. 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. 

Use of the http://www.regulations.gov 

Web site to submit comments to EPA 

electronically is EPA’s preferred method 

for receiving comments. The electronic 

public docket system is an ‘‘anonymous 

access’’ system, which means EPA will 

not know your identity, e-mail address, 

or other contact information unless you 

provide it in the body of your comment. 

In contrast to EPA’s electronic public 

docket, EPA’s electronic mail (e-mail) 

system is not an ‘‘anonymous access’’ 

system. If you send an e-mail comment 

directly to the Docket without going 

through http://www.regulations.gov, 

your e-mail address is automatically 

captured and included as part of the 

comment that is placed in the official 

public docket, and made available in 

EPA’s electronic public docket.

infrastructure for comparative

Coordinating Council consider when 

evaluating different investment options? 

• What Federal government activities 

in the area of comparative effectiveness 

research should the Coordinating 

Council focus its attention on? 

• How can the Coordinating Council 

best foster integration of these activities 

across the programs managed by the 

Departments of Health and Human 

Services, Defense, and Veterans Affairs? 

• What steps should the Coordinating 

Council consider to help ensure that 

public- and private-sector efforts in the 

area of comparative effectiveness 

research are mutually supportive? 

• What information on the 

Coordinating Council’s activities would 

be most useful?
