the New Source Review (NSR) Reform Subcommittee (Subcommittee) (58 FR

36407) under the auspices of the Clean Air Act Advisory Committee (55

FR 46993) which was established pursuant to the Federal Advisory

Committee Act (5 U.S.C. app I). The Subcommittee's purpose is to

provide independent advice and counsel to the EPA on policy and

technical issues associated with reforming the NSR rules.

OPEN MEETING DATES: Notice is hereby given that the Subcommittee will

hold an open meeting on July 19-20, 1994 at the Hyatt Regency Crystal

City, 2799 Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington, Virginia 22202,

telephone (703) 418-1234, telefax (703) 418-1289. The Subcommittee is

is limited to approximately 100 individuals and will be made available

on a first come, first serve basis.

At its last meeting on March 16-17, 1994, the Subcommittee

impacts, best available control technology and NSR applicability. Since

that meeting, the Agency staff have been working on draft preamble and

regulatory language that addresses the numerous issues deliberated upon

by the Subcommittee. At the upcoming July 19-20, 1994 meeting, the

Subcommittee will have the opportunity to respond to the staff draft of

the NSR reform rulemaking package.

Written comments on the draft package must be received on or before

August 31, 1994. Comments concerning the draft proposal should be

addressed to Ms. Lydia Wegman, Deputy Director, Office of Air Quality

Planning and Standards (MD-10), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,

Research Triangle Park, North Carolina 27711.
