Forum on State and Tribal Toxics Action (FOSTTA); June Meeting
Canceled

ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Forum on State and Tribal Toxics Action (FOSTTA) will not
meet in June 1999. In March, the FOSTTA Coordinating Committee decided
to forgo the June meeting due to severe cuts to the Office of Pollution
Prevention and Toxics (OPPT) fiscal year 1999 budget. In the past,
three meetings were funded annually and were typically held in October,
March, and June. The next meeting of FOSTTA will be October 18-19, 1999
at a new location, the Key Bridge Marriott Hotel in Arlington, VA. OPPT
will issue a Federal Register notice in late September to announce the
October meeting.
DATES: As part of the effort to increase tribal representation in
FOSTTA, the Tribal Affairs Work Group of FOSTTA will meet on June 28,
1999, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on June 29, 1999, from 8 a.m. to noon.
The focus of the meeting will be on orientation and organizational
matters with the Tribal representatives who attended the March FOSTTA
meeting. The Tribal Affairs Work Group deals specifically with issues
of concern to the Indians.
ADDRESSES: The Tribal Affairs Work Group of FOSTTA will meet at the Key
Bridge Marriott Hotel, 1401 Lee Highway, Arlington, VA.
