If EPA cannot read your comment due to technical difficulties and cannot contact you for clarification, EPA may not be able to consider your comment. i. EPA Dockets. Your use of EPA's electronic public docket to submit comments to EPA electronically is EPA's preferred method for receiving comments. Go directly to EPA Dockets at http:// www. epa. gov/ edocket , and follow the online instructions for submitting comments. Once in the system, select `` search,'' and then key in docket ID number OPP 2002 0323 The system is an `` anonymous access'' system, which means EPA will not know your identity, e mail address, or other contact information unless you provide it in the body of your comment. ii. E mail. Comments may be sent by e mail to opp docket@ epa. gov, Attention: Docket ID Number OPP 2002 0323. In contrast to EPA's electronic public docket, EPA's e mail system is not an `` anonymous access'' system. If you send an e mail comment directly to the docket without going through EPA's electronic public docket, EPA's e mail system automatically captures your e mail address. E mail addresses that are automatically captured by EPA's e mail system are included as part of the comment that is placed in the official public docket, and made available in EPA's electronic public docket. iii. Disk or CD ROM. You may submit comments on a disk or CD ROM that you mail to the mailing address identified in Unit I. C. 2. These electronic submissions will be accepted in WordPerfect or ASCII file format. Avoid the use of special characters and any form of encryption. 2. By mail. Send your comments to: Public Information and Records Integrity Branch ( PIRIB), Office of Pesticide Programs ( OPP), Environmental Protection Agency ( 7502C), 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Washington, DC, 20460 0001, Attention: Docket ID Number OPP 2002 0323. 3. By hand delivery or courier. Deliver your comments to: Public Information and Records Integrity Branch ( PIRIB), Office of Pesticide Programs ( OPP), Environmental Protection Agency, Rm. 119, Crystal Mall 2, 1921 Jefferson Davis Hwy., Arlington, VA., Attention: Docket ID Number OPP 2002 0323. Such deliveries are only accepted during the docket's normal hours of operation as identified in Unit I. B. 1.

D. How Should I Submit CBI To the Agency?

Do not submit information that you consider to be CBI electronically through EPA's electronic public docket or by e mail. You may claim information that you submit to EPA as CBI by marking any part or all of that information as CBI ( if you submit CBI on disk or CD ROM, mark the outside of the disk or CD ROM as CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD ROM the specific information that is CBI). Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2. In addition to one complete version of the comment that includes any information claimed as CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket and EPA's electronic public docket. If you submit the copy that does not contain CBI on disk or CD ROM, mark the outside of the disk or CD ROM clearly that it does not contain CBI. Information not marked as CBI will be included in the public docket and EPA's electronic public docket without prior notice. If you have any questions about CBI or the procedures for claiming CBI, please consult the person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

E. What Should I Consider as I Prepare My Comments for EPA?

You may find the following suggestions helpful for preparing your comments: 1. Explain your views as clearly as possible. 2. Describe any assumptions that you used. 3. Provide copies of any technical information and/ or data you used that support your views. 4. If you estimate potential burden or costs, explain how you arrived at the estimate that you provide. 5. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns. 6. Offer alternative ways to improve the notice. 7. Make sure to submit your comments by the deadline in this document. 8. To ensure proper receipt by EPA, be sure to identify the docket ID number assigned to this action in the subject line on the first page of your response. You may also provide the name, date, and Federal Register citation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FRA developed this guidance document on
capital cost estimating for project sponsors and the industry as part
of its continuing efforts to provide technical assistance and ensure
successful project delivery. FRA's guidance emphasizes accuracy,
comprehensiveness, and completeness of estimating materials, as well as
credibility. These are all qualities highlighted by the U.S. Government
Accountability Office (GAO) in its own capital cost estimating
guidance, which describes the same primary capital cost estimating
methodologies and activities as stated in this document.
    FRA's guidance focuses specifically on railroad projects; it
provides examples of common estimating shortfalls in railroad projects;
and it defines agency-specific requirements for project sponsors
regarding format and submission of cost estimate-related materials.
    FRA recognizes that it is not always easy to persuade stakeholders
and funders of a project's merit, or to withstand criticism for capital
costs that seem ``too high'' and schedules that seem ``too long.'' The
pressures associated with project development and implementation can be
immense. GAO recognized these pressures when it stated, ``many
organizations are not mature enough to acknowledge . . . cost risk
realism because of the possible repercussions [and] . . . fear that the
program could be canceled.'' With this in mind, FRA's guidance asserts
that true or ``non-depressed'' costs can get funded, and reminds us
that delivering projects ``as promised'' increases industry
credibility.
    By following FRA's guidance, project sponsors should be better able
to compensate for uncertainties, unforeseen conditions, and unknowns in
capital cost estimates. Such should improve estimate reliability, and
enable as-built costs to land within a reasonable range of the
estimates generated at every project phase. With a consistent
estimating approach, project sponsors should be better able to make
useful comparisons among estimates, and to evaluate their own
estimates.
    This guidance will be incorporated by reference into FRA's Notices
of Funding Availability/Opportunity and grant and loan agreements. FRA
expects project sponsors to adhere to this guidance, and the principles
and methods described herein.

Privacy Act

    FRA wishes to inform all interested parties that anyone is able to
search the electronic form of any written communications and comments
received into any of our dockets by the name of the individual
submitting the comment (or signing the comment, if submitted on behalf
