<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s E-Enterprise for the Environment Advanced Monitoring Team is seeking your review of its Draft Data Standards Report entitled “An Evaluation and Recommendation for Data Standards for Continuous
Monitoring Data.” The report describes existing standards for such continuous monitoring data so EPA, State and Tribes can apply standard(s) that are appropriate for specific uses. All of the standards are useful depending on the situation. Use of this report
would be entirely voluntary.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are asking for review by people who could use this guidance, namely environmental data users at the federal, State and Tribal levels and data standards organizations. We would appreciate your broad feedback on how this report could fit
your needs. We request that you address these questions in your review and send them to us via email:<o:p></o:p></p>
