EPA Docket Center (EPA/DC)

EPA's New Electronic Public Docket and Comment System has been announced in the Federal Register (67 FR 38102, May 31, 2002). Known as EDOCKET (formerly, the Regulatory Public Access System, RPAS), this on-line system allows viewers to search the Agency's major public dockets on-line, view the index listing of the contents for the dockets included in the system, and access those materials that are available on-line. Viewers are also able to submit comments on-line when a particular docket is open for public comment. EDOCKET may be accessed on-line at http://www.epa.gov/edocket.

The EPA/DC provides the public with documents involved in the different stages of RCRA rulemakings. Regulatory documents and publications may be ordered from the EPA/DC in any of the following ways:

  • E-Mail - rcra-docket@epa.gov
  • Phone - (202) 566-0270
  • Fax - (202) 566-0272
  • In Person - Hours and Location: The EPA/DC is open to the public from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. The EPA/DC is located at:
    EPA West Building, Room B102
    1301 Constitution Ave., NW
    Washington, DC 20460

It is recommended that visitors make an appointment so that the material they wish to view is ready when they arrive.

Patrons may write to the following address:
EPA/DC (5305T)
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency

Washington, DC 20460-0002

Please note that this address is for mailing purposes only.

Photocopying and Microfilming

Many documents are available only in the original and, therefore, must be photocopied. Patrons are allowed 100 free photocopies. Thereafter they are charged 15 cents per page. When necessary, an invoice stating how many copies were made, the cost of the order, and where to send a check will be issued to the patron.

Documents also are available on microfilm. The EPA/DC staff help patrons locate needed documents and operate the microfilm machines. The billing fee for printing microfilm documents is the same as for photocopying documents.

Patrons who are outside of the metropolitan Washington, DC, area can request documents by telephone. The photocopying and microfilming fee is the same as for walk-in patrons. If an invoice is necessary, EPA/DC staff can mail one with the order.
