SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) established the

Clean Air Act Advisory Committee (CAAAC) on November 19, 1990 to

provide independent advice and counsel to EPA on policy issues

associated with the implementation of the Clean Air Act of 1990. The

charter for the CAAAC was reissued and the Committee was authorized to

be extended until November 19, 1994 under regulations established by

the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA).

On August 4, 1993 EPA requested nominations for new members to the

committee. In February 1994 all new and reappointed members of the

Clean Air Act Advisory Committee were contacted and informed of their

selection. The membership of the Committee represents a balance of

interested persons with diverse perspectives and professional

qualifications and experience to contribute to the functions of the

Advisory Committee. Members were drawn from: business and industry;

academic institutions; state and local governmental bodies;

environmental and nongovernmental organizations; unions and service

groups.

Fifty-two individuals were selected to participate as members of

the CAAAC. The Advisory Committee will be authorized to form

subcommittees to consider specific issues or actions and report back to

the Committee.

Open Meeting Notice: Notice is hereby given that the reauthorized

Clean Air Act Advisory Committee will hold its initial open meeting on

March 29, 1994 from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., at the Washington Renaissance

Hotel, 999 9th Street, NW. in Washington, DC. Seating will be available

on a first come, first served basis.

The CAAAC was established to advise EPA on the development,

implementation, and enforcement of the new and expanded regulatory and

market-based programs required by the Clean Air Act of 1990. At this

initial meeting, the Committee will highlight implementation priorities

for the next year; consider potential sub-committee formation, and;
