Availability of Technical Guidance

[26 Pa.B. 4471]

   DEP publishes a list of its technical guidance documents in its Technical Guidance Document Inventory twice a year. The most recent Inventory was published June 1996. This Inventory is also posted on DEP's World Wide Web page. DEP's Web address is http://www.dep.state.pa.us. To go to the location of the Inventory once on the DEP home page, persons should choose the following path:  1)  Public Participation Center, 2)  Status of Legislation, Regulations and Policies, 3)  Recently Finalized Regulations and Policies and 4)  Technical Guidance Document Inventory. Persons can order a copy of the latest Inventory or a copy of any of the final documents listed on the Inventory by calling Elwyn Inc. (the printer) at 1 (800) 804-4020 if calling in Pennsylvania or (610) 497-5841 (note this new number) if calling from outside Pennsylvania.

   Once a year on the first Saturday in August, the Governor's Office publishes a list of the nonregulatory guidance documents of all State agencies in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. The first publication of this list was in the August 3, 1996 edition of the Bulletin.

   In the interim, DEP announces changes to its technical guidance documents in its weekly newsletter, the UPDATE and the Pennsylvania Bulletin. Here is the current list of recently finalized documents, draft documents and notices of intended changes to technical guidance.

Notice of Intent to Revise Technical Guidance

   Draft Title:  Pennsylvania Drinking Water Information System (PADWIS) Inventory Users Manual Background: The computerized inventory of regulated public water supplies has changed from a batch system on a contractor's computer with paper forms data entry to a user friendly on-line system on the Department's DEC computer. Also, many enhancements have been made to the inventory in response to program and user needs. These changes have resulted in the need for a substantial modification to the users manual which is used by field operations staff to maintain the public water system inventory in the PADWIS. Anticipated Effective Date:  January 1997 Anticipated Draft Development Date:  October 1, 1996 Proposed Development and Review Process:  The Water Supply and Community Health (WSCH) Field Operations staff are to be involved in the review. Revisions to this manual were developed with significant input from the field staff, who are the primary users of the system. Contact:  Barry Greenawald or Donna Green at (717) 772-4018.
