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.
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
``
anonymous

system,
which
means
EPA
will
not
know
your
identity,
e­
mail

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

In
contrast
to
EPA's
electronic
public

EPA's
electronic

(

is
not
an

system.
If
you
send
an

comment
directly
to
the
Docket
without
going
through
EPA's
electronic

your

is
automatically
captured
