SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the Federal Advisory Committee
Act (Pub. L. 92-463), the Environmental Protection Agency gives notice
of a meeting of the Effluent Guidelines Task Force (EGTF). The EGTF is
a subcommittee of the National Advisory Council for Environmental
Policy and Technology (NACEPT), the external policy advisory board to
the Administrator of EPA.
The EGTF was established in July of 1992 to advise EPA on the
Effluent Guidelines Program, which develops regulations for dischargers
of industrial wastewater pursuant to Title III of the Clean Water Act
(33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.). The Task Force consists of members appointed
by EPA from industry, citizen groups, state and local government, the
academic and scientific communities, and EPA regional offices. The Task
Force was created to offer advice to the Administrator on the long-term
strategy for the effluent guidelines program, and particularly to
provide recommendations on a process for expediting the promulgation of
effluent guidelines. The Task Force generally does not discuss specific
effluent guideline regulations currently under development.
The meeting agenda will include discussions on draft
recommendations regarding fostering pollution prevention in effluent
guidelines, and improving the project management and data collection
processes for effluent guidelines. There will also be discussions on
the methodology for conducting preliminary industry studies.
The meeting will be open to the public. Limited seating for the
public is available on a first-come, first-served basis. The public may
submit written comments to the Task Force regarding improvements to the
Effluent Guidelines program. Comments should be sent to Eric Strassler
at the above address. Comments submitted by May 3 will be considered by
the Task Force at or subsequent to the meeting.
Dated: April 20, 1994.
Eric Strassler,
Acting NACEPT Designated Federal Official.
