Good ideas. But is it possible that few responses mean that EPA's policy or proposal met peope's needs and they did not feel like they had torespond. For example, I know of situations in which an agency spent a lot of up front time in informal meetings talking with folks--by the time there was a large public forum or formal comments--there were relatively few. I have been very concerned about agencies trying to use such numbers as a barometer of agency effectiveness. It is also possible the agency did such a bad job of outreach that no one knew there was something to respond to.
