For the US (and UK) EPL, try downloading what seem to be the latest versions 
from   

     ftp://ftp.cse.dnd.ca/pub/formis/epl

Don't bother with the following URL; they've still got up the February 1994 EPL 
(what can you expect from a government web site?)

     http://www.itd.nrl.navy.mil/ITD/5540/xtp1/epl.html

Also useful for its links to the various TCSEC documents (Rainbow books), plus 
the ITSEC

     http://csrc.ncsl.nist.gov/secpubs/

I can't help you with Common Criteria; I didn't realise these criteria were even
finalised/agreed upon yet.  I imagine a few firms might be anticipating and 
testing against the draft CC, hoping to avoid the problem we all face, which is 
the idea of spending all the money/resources to do evaluations against the TCSEC
or ITSEC when both are (allegedly) going to become obsolete with the 
international acceptance of the CC.  I personally think this is naive, because, 
just as now with the ITSEC, individual nations will *still* insist that products
sold in their country meet their *national* version of the CC.  The CC is a very
laudable goal.  I'll believe it when I see it.
