(01/22/03) Due to several requests from the public, EPA has extended the comment period for its pilot information database, Enforcement and Compliance History Online (ECHO) to March 31. The comment period was originally scheduled to end Jan. 31. The comment period provides users and other interested parties, particularly those responsible for facilities included within the database, an opportunity to review and comment on ECHO’s content, design and data accuracy. In addition, ECHO provides an online error reporting process to ensure continued public participation on data quality. When final, ECHO will provide users detailed facility reports, which include federal and state compliance inspections; environmental violations; recent formal enforcement actions taken; and demographic profiles of surrounding areas. ECHO can be found at www.epa.gov/echo. Comments regarding ECHO may be submitted to echo@epa.gov as a Word or WordPerfect file or mailed to Rebecca Kane, Environmental Protection Agency, Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance, MC 2222A, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave. N.W., Washington, D.C. 20460. Specific data errors should be submitted using the error correction process on the ECHO site. Details regarding the public comment extension also will be published in an upcoming Federal Register notice.
