Notices are sent out on the mailing list the same day they are published in the hard copy Federal Register. EPA extracts documents directly from the Federal Register, without alteration or intervention except subject identification and automated breaking of oversized files. This e-mail process is one-directional, meaning that you cannot reply to Federal Register notices electronically.

This electronic information dissemination process preserves the integrity of the documents to the best of EPA's ability; however, EPA disclaims any omissions, file structure errors, or deficiencies as being errors of the Government Printing Office rather than EPA. EPA notes that wide tables require setting word processing software to a 278-character field width for proper display.
