Third Party Correspondence on Requests for Correction and Requests for Reconsideration Submitted to EPA


From time to time, EPA receives correspondence about a Request for Correction (RFC) or Request for Reconsideration (RFR) from other interested parties. We refer to this as third party correspondence. To ensure transparency regarding requests, EPA's policy is to post such third party correspondence.

If you wish to submit correspondence related to an RFC or an RFR, please reference the RFC or RFR request number and send your correspondence via any one of the methods listed here:

  • Email: quality@epa.gov 
  • Fax: (202) 565-2441
  • Mail: Information Quality Guidelines Staff (Mail Code 2811R)
    U.S. EPA
    1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW
    Washington, D.C., 20460
  • Delivery: Information Quality Guidelines Staff
    US EPA - Room M1200
    1300 Pennsylvania Ave., NW

Disclaimer: EPA's posting of third party correspondence for the purpose of transparency is not an Agency endorsement of, or agreement with the information presented as third party correspondence, nor is it an Agency endorsement of the quality of such information with respect to EPA's Information Quality Guidelines (2002) or the Information Quality Act (2001). The Agency does not necessarily intend to use this information when responding to an RFC or RFR and is posting it for the sake of transparency.

Note: IQG Web Site policy is that third party correspondence, except comments containing copyrighted material, confidential business information, or other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute, will be made available for public viewing on this website. This policy applies to information submitted electronically or in paper form. Any identifying or contact information provided in your correspondence will be made available to the public on the Internet on this Web Site. The Agency does, however, reserve the right not to post third party correspondence deemed inappropriate.
