National Drinking Water Advisory Council; Notice of Open Meetings

Under Section 10(a)(2) of Public Law 92-423, ``The Federal Advisory

Committee Act,'' notice is hereby given that two meetings of the

National Drinking Water Advisory Council established under the Safe

Drinking Water Act, as amended (42 U.S.C. S300f et seq.), will be held

on December 11, 1995, from 2:00 p.m. until 4:00 p.m. in Room #1209 East

Tower and on December 12, 1995, from 11:30 p.m. until 1:30 p.m. in Room

#1032 East Tower, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

Headquarters, 401 M Street, SW, Washington, D.C. Council members will

be participating by Conference Call. The meeting is open to the public,

but due to past experience, seating will be limited. Due to the

government-wide shutdown, the 15-day prior to meeting notice

requirement was not possible.

The purpose of these meetings is two fold. At the December 11,

1995, meeting the Advisory Council will hear public comments on EPA's

draft Redirection Report and will also use this opportunity to obtain

any clarification

from EPA staff that may be necessary for their further deliberations.

At the December 12, 1995, meeting the Council will present its

recommendations to the Agency on the draft report. (Note: The

availability notice for this document will be published in the Federal

Register.)

These meetings are open to the public. The Council encourages the

hearing of outside statements and will allocate the first hour of their

conference call on December 11, 1995, for this purpose. They will not

take public comments at the December 12, 1995, meeting. Oral statements

will be limited to five minutes, and it is preferred that only one

person present the statement. Any outside parties interested in

presenting an oral statement should petition the Council by telephone

at (202) 260-2285 before December 7, 1995.

Any person who wishes to file a written statement can do so before

or after a Council meeting. Written statements received prior to the

meetings will be distributed to all members of the Council before any

final discussion or vote is completed. Any statements received after

the meetings will become part of the permanent meeting file and will be

forwarded to the Council members for their information.

Members of the public that would like to attend the meetings,

present an oral statement, or submit a written statement, should

contact Ms. Charlene Shaw, Designated Federal Officer, National

Drinking Water Advisory Council, U.S. EPA, Office of Ground Water and

Drinking Water (4601), 401 M Street SW, Washington, DC 20460. The
