> EPA FEDERAL REGISTER NOTICE
> DIRECTS PUBLIC TO FEDERAL DEPOSITORY LIBRARIES
> FOR ASSISTANCE WITH ELECTRONIC COMMENTS
>
>
> On Thursday, August 25, 1994, the Environmental Protection
> Agency (EPA) published a proposed rule in the Federal
> Register on Air Quality Planning and Management for Indian
> tribes. This proposal solicits electronic comments from the
> public through an Internet e-mail address (Docket-
> OPPTS@epamail.epa.gov) and through the EPA bulletin board
> (202-488-3671 or 919-541-4642).
>
> In the Federal Register documents, EPA directs the public to
> Federal Depository Libraries to view or submit electronic
> comments. A copy of teh notice is provided at the end of
> this message.
>
> Clearly most Depository Libraries have the ability to
> provide access to the Federal Register, in paper, microfiche
> or online, to facilitate public review of the proposed rule.
> However, what EPA is seeking with this notice is assistance
> from Depository Libraries in providing a terminal with a
> modem or Internet connection that the public could use to
> view and submit electronic comments on the proposed rule.
> This is clearly a service that goes beyond providing access
> to the Federal Register into assisting users to participate
> in the electronic rulemaking process.
>
> EPA has been informed that not every Depository Library will
> be able to provide this type of assistance since not every
> library has public access terminals that support dial out or
> Internet access. EPA hopes that libraries that do not have
> this ability will assist users who contact them as a result
> of this notice, and that other libraries will at least refer
> users to places where they might obtain such assistance.
>
> The Library Programs Service (LPS) and Office of Electronic
> Information Disemination Services (EIDS) at the U.S.
> Government Printing Office are very interested in receiving
> information from Depository Libraries about their respnse to
> this request from EPA. In particular we are interested in
> knowing which libraries are willing and able to support such
> technical assistance. Please send your comments to
> jrussell@locator.access.gpo.gov. Your responses will be
> shared with EPA.

> SUMMARY: The Clean Air Act directs EPA to promulgate
> regulations specifying those provisions of the Act for which
> it is appropriate to treat Indian Tribes in the same manner
> as States. For those provisions specified, a Tribe may
> develop and implement one or more of its own air quality
> programs under the Act. This proposed rule sets forth the
> CAA provisions for which it is appropriate to treat Indian
> Tribes in the same manner as States, establishes the
> requirements that Indian Tribes must meet if they choose to
> seek such treatment, and provides for awards of Federal
> financial assistance to Tribes. EPA requests public comments
> on all aspects of today's proposal.
>
> DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received on or
> before November 23, 1994.
