EPA’s Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance has published a notice of availability and request for comments (FR Doc. 02-29471) on its new Web site, Enforcement and Compliance History Online (ECHO), which contains searchable facility-level enforcement and compliance information. Comments must be submitted to the agency by Jan. 21.

ECHO provides inspection, violation, enforcement and penalty information for the past two years for about 800,000 facilities regulated nationwide under the Clean Air Act Stationary Source Program, Clean Water Act National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System, and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. It also contains demographic information from the National Census. EPA encourages stakeholders to determine if their facility report is accurate and, if not, whether the error reporting process is user-friendly.

The ECHO Web site is available at www.epa.gov/echo. Comments can be submitted to echo@epa.gov, or contact Rebecca Kane at kane.rebecca@epa.gov or (202) 564-5960.
