After the Federal Register notice published, EPA accepted comments on the longer-term strategy in docket EPA-HQ-OPPT-2018-0659 on www.regulations.gov until November 15, 2018.
The approach presented in this document reflects public input received at the December 2017 meeting and through the public docket for that meeting (EPA-HQ-OPPT-2017-0587). The Agency's response to public comments can be found below.
