    Notice is hereby given that the Environmental Protection Agency 
will hold an open meeting of the Iron and Steel Sector Subcommittee of 
the Common Sense Initiative Council on Thursday, February 27, 1997, in 
Chicago, Illinois. The meeting will begin at 8:00 a.m. CST and will run 
until 4:00 p.m. CST. The meeting will be held at the Metcalf Federal 
Building, Great Lakes Conference Center, 12th floor, 77 West Jackson 
Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604.
    For the past two years, the Iron and Steel Sector Subcommittee has 
been working on nine projects (Brownsfields, Permit Recommendations, 
Multi-media Permit, Consolidated Reporting, Alternative Compliance, 
Community Advisory Committee, Electronic Web Site, Spent Pickle Liquor 
Work Shop, and Innovative Technology Barriers) through four workgroups 
(Brownsfields, Permits, Compliance, and Innovative Technology) and an 
ad hoc task force (Community Involvement). The workgroups have been 
responsible for proposing to the full Subcommittee for its review and 
approval potential activities or projects that the Iron and Steel 
Sector Subcommittee would undertake, and for carrying out projects once 
approved. Most of these projects are reaching completion or are going 
through the pilot testing phase and require only relatively limited 
Subcommittee oversight. The purpose of this meeting is for the 
Subcommittee to discuss what it wants to accomplish over the next year, 
how it wants to accomplish it, and what kind of agenda it wants to set 
for itself. Additionally, the Subcommittee will address any 
recommendations that its current workgroups propose for Subcommittee 
action. The four workgroups will meet the preceding day, Wednesday, 
February 26, 1997, from approximately 10:00 a.m. CST to 5:00 p.m. CST, 
at the Metcalf Building.
