USEPA solicits comment on all aspects of this Notice and the supporting record. The Agency also solicits additional data and information that may be relevant to the issues discussed in the Notice. USEPA is particularly interested in public comment on the Committee's recommendations and whether the Agency should reflect these recommendations in the final rule.
