SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Technology Transfer Network (TTN)
The TTN is one of the EPA's electronic bulletin boards. The TTN can
be accessed through the Internet or directly by modem. Through the
Internet, the TTN may be accessed at:
TELNET: ttnbbs.rtpnc.epa.gov
FTP: ttnftp.rtpnc.epa.gov
WWW: ttnwww.rtpnc.epa.gov
When accessing the WWW site, select TTN BBS Web from the first menu,
then select Gateway to TTN Technical Areas from the second menu, and
finally, select ICCR-Industrial Combustion Coordinated Rulemaking from
the third menu.
By modem, dial (919) 541-5742 for up to a 14,400 bits-per-second
information transfer connection. After logging on to the system, select
Gateway to the TTN Technical Areas from the menu and then select ICCR-
Industrial Combustion Coordinated Rulemaking from the next menu. Access
to the TTN through Telnet will look the same as if you had dialed by
modem, so these instructions should be followed for a Telnet
connection.
Access to the TTN through FTP is a streamlined approach for
downloading files, but is only useful, if the desired filenames are
known.
If more information on the TTN is needed, call the help desk at
(919) 541-5384.
All Coordinating Committee meetings will be announced in the
Federal Register. Work Group meetings will be announced on the TTN.
Individuals interested in Work Group meetings, or any aspect of the
ICCR for that matter, should access the TTN on a regular basis for
information.
Two copies of the Coordinating Committee charter are filed with
appropriate committees of Congress and the Library of Congress and are
available upon request to the Docket (ask for item #I-B-1). The purpose
of the Coordinating Committee is to assist EPA in the development of
regulations to control emissions of air pollutants from industrial,
commercial, and institutional combustion of fuels and non-hazardous
solid wastes. The Coordinating Committee will attempt to develop
recommendations for national emission
[[Page 8728]]
standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) implementing section
112 and solid waste combustion regulations implementing section 129 of
the Act, and may review and make recommendations for revising and
developing new source performance standards (NSPS) under section 111 of
the Act. The recommendations will cover boilers, process heaters,
industrial/commercial and other incinerators, stationary internal
combustion engines, and stationary combustion turbines.
The lists of Coordinating Committee and Work Group members are
available from the TTN for the purpose of giving the public the
opportunity to contact members to discuss concerns or information they
would like to bring forward during the ICCR process.
The next meeting of the Coordinating Committee will be held March
19 and 20, 1997 in Chicago, Illinois at the Hotel Inter-Continental
located at 505 North Michigan Avenue, Chicago, Illinois from about 8:30
a.m. to about 6:00 p.m. on both days; an evening session may be held on
March 19, if necessary, to ensure completion of the agenda. The agenda
for this meeting will include reports from the Work Groups on their
progress and planning, discussion of data gathering efforts to support
the ICCR, and a discussion of direction and guidance from the
Coordinating Committee to the Work Groups. This meeting will also be
open to the public, and an opportunity will be provided for the public
to offer comments and address the Coordinating Committee.
It is anticipated that the next meeting of the Coordinating
Committee, following the meeting in March, will be May 21 and 22, 1997
in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina.
Dated: February 20, 1997.
