Correction Notice

   In the April 7, 2001, Pennsylvania Bulletin, a notice announced the availability of a draft technical guidance (substantive revision) document, but failed to include the document's new title. As a result, please see the corrected version of the announcement:

The revisions provide for new options and consideration of additional system components that were unavailable in the original guidance document.

Anticipated Effective Date: June 1, 2001, Comment Period Ends: May 7, 2001, Contact: Karen Fenchak at (717) 787-8184.

Interim Technical Guidance

   DEP ID: 550-2500-001 Title: Interim Guidance for Attachments to Electronic Submissions Description: The Department is implementing a web-based application and reporting tool to be used by applicants for permits and reporting required by permits or other regulatory requirements. The Oil and Gas Management Bureau was the first to develop an electronic permit application process. While the Department is developing standards for electronic attachments, which are based on the experiences of the Oil and Gas electronic permitting project, the Bureau must provide guidance to applicants and review staff on what is currently acceptable. This document is to provide guidance to oil and gas operators submitting permit applications via the electronic web process and for Program staff in their review of electronic applications, which meet Oil and Gas Program requirements. This guidance provides that information and is to be used by Program staff until Department-wide guidance is available, which may supersede this guidance. Effective Date: Effective immediately, with 30-day comment period provided. Comment Period Ends: May 21, 2001, Contact: David English at (717) 772-2199.

Acting Secretary
