New Source Review (NSR) Sector Based Approach

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Announcement of public meeting.

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

SUMMARY: This is an announcement of a public meeting on January 13, 
2000 to discuss EPA's thinking on an alternative approach for 
compliance with new source review (NSR) requirements. Our thinking on 
such an approach has advanced to the point where we have developed 
components that could be workable specifically for the utility sector. 
At the meeting we plan to present this current thinking, and to receive 
comment from stakeholders on the approach as it would apply to 
utilities.

DATES: The meeting will convene at 10:00 a.m., and end at 3:30 p.m. on 
January 13, 2000.

ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held in the Polaris Room, Ronald Reagan 
Building and International Trade Center, 1300 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, 
Washington, DC, 20004, telephone [phone]. All written documents 
submitted at this public meeting will be placed in the Docket # A-99-44 
within approximately 2 weeks after the meeting. The Docket is available 
for public inspection and copying between 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., 
weekdays, at the EPA's Air Docket (6102), Room M-1500, 401 M Street, 
Southwest, Washington, DC 20460. A reasonable fee may be charged for 
copying.

industrial sector, (2) the public interest groups, (3) State and local 
governments or agencies,

and (4) the Federal government. There will be additional seating, 
theater style, in the meeting room, available on a first come first 
served basis, for about 100 people. To the extent possible, everyone 
who wishes to speak will have an opportunity. We will provide an agenda
