Clearly mark the part or all the information that you claim to be CBI. 
For CBI information in a disk or CD-ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the 
outside of the disk or CD-ROM as CBI and then identify electronically

CBI. In addition to one complete version of the comment that includes

specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of 
Federal Regulations (CFR) part or section number.

Settlement; suggest alternatives and substitute language for your 
requested changes.
     Describe any assumptions and provide any technical 
information and/or data that you used.
     If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how 
you arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be 
reproduced.
     Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns and 
suggest alternatives.
     Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the
