contact information in the body of your comment and with any disk or
CD-ROM you submit. 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. Electronic files should avoid the use of
special characters, any form of encryption, and be free of any defects
or viruses.
Docket: All documents in the docket are listed in the docket index
available at http://www.regulations.gov. Although listed in the index,
some information is not publicly available, e.g., CBI or other

specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) part or section number.

and/or data that you used.

arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be
reproduced.
