SUMMARY: Pursuant to the provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974, the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is giving notice that it is
amending the system of record for the National Enforcement Training
Institute (NETI) Online learning management system. The SORN is being
amended to change the system name from NETI Online to the NETI
eLearning Center and to change the system location from the Office of
Criminal Enforcement to NETI in the Office of Compliance (the NETI
division). The NETI eLearning Center is used by Federal, State, Local,
and Tribal environmental enforcement and compliance personnel for
online distance learning. The NETI eLearning Center maintains
registration information of internal and external users and records of
training attendance and completion.

do so by August 14, 2017.

Hand Delivery: OEI Docket, EPA/DC, WJC West Building, Room 3334,

accepted during the docket's normal hours of operation, and special
arrangements should be made for deliveries.
Instructions: Direct your comments to Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OEl-
2015-0201. The EPA's policy is that all comments received will be

provided, unless the comment includes information claimed to be
Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information for which
disclosure is restricted by statute. Do not submit information that you
consider to be CBI or otherwise protected through www.regulations.gov.
The www.regulations.gov Web site is an ``anonymous access'' system,
which means the EPA will not know your identity or contact information
unless you provide it in the body of your comment. If you send an email
comment directly to the EPA without going through www.regulations.gov
your email address will be automatically captured and included as part
of the comment that is placed in the public docket and made available
on the Internet. If you submit an electronic comment, the EPA
recommends that you include your name and other contact information in
the body of your comment, and with any disk or CD-ROM you submit. If
the EPA cannot read your comment due to technical difficulties and
cannot contact you for clarification, the EPA may not be able to
consider your comment. Electronic files should avoid the use of special
characters, any form of encryption, and be free of any defects or
viruses. For additional information about the EPA's public docket visit
the EPA Docket Center homepage at: http://www.epa.gov/epahome/dockets.htm.
