Hello,
I have been reading the postings about Depository libraries and the Federal
Register. Counterpoint offers the Federal Register, updated daily, on the
internet, free to all depository libraries. If you are interested please e-mail at
hal@counterpoint.com.
>> 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.
