Notice of Public Meeting on the National Estimate of Waterborne 
Disease Occurrence

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    Notice is hereby given that the Environmental Protection Agency 
(EPA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are 
holding a public meeting to present EPA and CDC's approach to 
developing a national estimate of disease attributable to drinking 
water.
    EPA is inviting interested members of the public to participate in 
the meeting on the development of a national estimate of the occurrence 
of waterborne infectious disease. EPA maintains an open door policy, 
however, to assist EPA in managing limitations on conference room 
seating and to facilitate entry into a government building, we ask that 
persons who plan on attending, register as directed below.
    Subjects to be addressed include the overall plan and schedule for 
development of a national estimate, an overview of completed and new 
research studies and surveys that will provide data for the estimate, 
and a discussion of the methodology for estimating infectious disease 
attributable to drinking water. The estimate is required under the 1996 
amendments to the Safe Drinking Water Act (section 1458(d)). A detailed 
agenda of this meeting and copies of the reports from the two previous 
workshops on the same subject in 1997 can be obtained directly from the 
EPA Safe Drinking Water Hotline at [phone].
    Date and Location: The meeting will take place on November 18, 
1999, from 9:00 am to 5:30 pm, at the Hubert A. Humphrey Building, Room 
705A, 200 Independence Avenue, Washington, DC.
    Registration: To assure adequate seating and quick passage through 
building security, EPA asks that persons planning on attending the 
meeting register with the EPA Safe Drinking Water Hotline at (800) 426-
4791 by November 1, 1999. The Hotline can also provide information on 
specially reserved hotel accommodation.
