If
EPA
cannot
read
your
comment
due
to
technical
difficulties
and
cannot
contact
you
for
clarification,
EPA
may
not
be
able
to
consider
your

Your
use
of
EPA's
electronic
public
docket
to
submit
comments
to
EPA
electronically
is
EPA's
preferred
method
for
receiving
comments.
The
electronic
public
docket
system
is
an
``

system,
which
means
EPA
will
not
know
your

e­

or
other
contact
information
unless
you
provide
it
in
the
body
of

In

to

EPA's

is
not
an

If

the
responsibility
of
ensuring
the
safety

education
of

apply
or
are
exposed
to
pesticides
occupationally
or
through
use
of
products
from
unreasonable
risk,
and

posed
