TO:     \J OSWER Office Directors

     As you may recall from our meeting with ASTSWMO last October, ASTSWMO
requested that OSWER Headquarters provide the States with copies of all
final policy and procedural guidance documents.  We agreed that Headquarters
would provide the States with appropriate documents.  The purpose of this
is to inform you of the mechanism which we will use to meet this commitment.

     Currently, all policy and procedural guidance requires an OSWER
Directives number and form.  To acconroodate the State distribution, this
form has been revised to allow you to indicate when a document should be
provided by Headquarters to the States.  A copy of the revised form is
attached, and a supply will be provided to your Office Directives Coordinators.
The originator of a document should check the appropriate box to indicate
if the document should be provided to the States.  If a document is to be
sent to the States by Headquarters, the originator must provide tHe OSWER
Directives system with 13 instead of 12 copies of the document.  We will
send the extra copy to Cincinnati where State distribution will be handled.

     Since all policy and procedural documents must be entered in the
OSWER Directives System, this procedure will allow the most efficient and
expedient mechanism to ensure that the States are receiving information
which they need to manage our programs.  If you have any questions,
please contact Sherry Fielding at 382-4483 or Margie Russell at 475-8800.
