SUMMARY: The EPA is announcing the first of two public meetings to be

held during the 90-day public comment period on the notice of proposed

rulemaking for the pulp, paper, and paperboard industry, published on

December 17, 1993, at 58 FR 66078. The public meetings are intended to

be forums at which the EPA can discuss the status of regulatory

development and at which interested parties can provide information and

ideas on key technical, scientific, and other issues and can ask

clarifying questions about the notice of proposed rulemaking.

DATES: The public meeting will be held on January 19, 1994, from 9 a.m.

to 5 p.m.

ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held at the Omni Durham Hotel, 201

Foster Street, Durham, North Carolina in Ballroom 103. Seating will be

available for approximately 225 attendees.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The EPA plans to sponsor two public meetings

and two public hearings. The dates and locations of the second public

meeting and the public hearings will be announced in a subsequent

notice.

The public meetings will be in a format similar to the public

meetings held prior to publication of the notice of proposed

rulemaking. These meetings will not be recorded by a reporter or

transcribed for inclusion in the record for the pulp, paper, and

paperboard industry rulemaking. Comments and speakers are invited at

the meetings, but comments to be included in the record must be either

submitted in writing in accordance with the instructions in the notice

of proposed rulemaking or provided orally at the formal public

hearings.

All written comments submitted in accordance with the instructions

in the notice of proposed rulemaking will be incorporated into the

record and considered before promulgation. It is not necessary to

present oral comments at the public meetings or hearings for comments

to be considered.

Inspection of Documents

Documents relating to the topics mentioned above and a more

detailed agenda will be available at the meeting.

Dated: January 5, 1994.
