Government Information Locator Service (GILS)
AGENCY: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Public notice announcement of second focus group meeting.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: All Federal agencies and departments must create locators
(i.e., electronic card catalogues) for their publicly-available
information, and must make these locators available in a standard
format. The collection of all the Federal agencies' and departments'
locators is termed the Government Information Locator Service (GILS),
which is more fully described in the Office of Management and Budget
Bulletin 95-01, ``Establishment of Government Information Locator
Service.''
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is convening several
focus group meetings to confirm and expand our understanding of our
customers' needs for a locator to EPA information. The purpose of the
meetings is to engage EPA's constituencies in dialogue about their
specific requirements for EPA's GILS, so that EPA can better tailor its
GILS to fit customer needs.
This second public focus group is designed to include any likely
users of EPA's GILS, and any interested parties, except for EPA staff
(EPA staff will attend separate sessions). Diverse interest groups and
varied perspectives are welcome.
Results of the focus group meetings will be combined with results
from internal EPA meetings, and will be used to help set the near- and
long-term agenda for development, enhancement, and sustainability of
GILS at EPA.
The meeting will take place on Tuesday, July 18, 1995, from 9:00 am
to noon at Hall of the States, 444 North Capitol Street NW.,
Washington, DC. The meeting will be held in Room 333 and there is no
cost to participate.
To keep the focus group attendance to a workable size (i.e., one in
which voices can be readily heard and thoughts recorded), advance
registration is required. To register, please contact one of the
following by July 17, and let them know your name, company or
affiliation (if any), telephone and fax numbers.
