Dockets, Electronic Dockets, and Information Centers

Dockets, Electronic Dockets, and Information Centers serve as the repository for information related to particular Agency actions. When a rulemaking or non-rulemaking action is announced, a docket is established in EPA Dockets with an assigned tracking number to accumulate materials throughout the process.  Dockets may contain Federal Register documents, a variety of supporting documentation, and public comments.  Regulations.gov serves as EPA’s electronic public docket and on-line comment system.  If you would like to submit an electronic comment or obtain docket materials for an EPA docket, please visit www.regulations.gov

Contact Information for EPA Headquarters Dockets

EPA has consolidated eight paper docket facilities previously located across the D.C. Metropolitan area to one location in EPA's Federal Triangle offices. The new EPA Docket Center (EPA/DC) includes a Public Reading Room that offers a variety of access tools, security and comfort for members of the public seeking access to hardcopy or electronic public dockets.

Current Status of the EPA Docket Center Public Reading Room

As of September 22nd, 2006, the EPA Docket Center (EPA/DC) Public Reading Room will be temporarily inaccessible to the public until November 6th, 2006, due to construction. Public access to docket materials will still be provided. We strongly encourage you to visit this website frequently (http://www.epa.gov/epahome/dockets.htm) in order to receive the latest status concerning the Public Reading Room and public access to docket materials.
