wastewater and drinking water infrastructure. The study is being 
prepared by the Environmental Finance Center at the Maxwell School of 
Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University at the direction 
of EPA's Office of Wastewater Management (OWM), in response to a 
congressional request for an evaluation of alternative financing 
options for water and wastewater projects in EPA's FY 95 appropriations 
legislation.
    The first three meetings have focused primarily on options for a 
wide variety of fee systems. This meeting will consider other financing 
options that include encouraging increased investments by the private 
sector in public purpose water infrastructure, and examining ways to 
lower the costs of public borrowing for water infrastructure.
    Following a discussion among invited panel members, interested 
parties who wish to speak at the meeting will be allowed to do so. 
These parties are encouraged to notify the Syracuse University 
Environmental Finance Center by calling Ms. Ronda Garlow at (315) 443-
5612. There will also be a sign-in list for speakers at the meeting. 
Ten minutes will be available for each presentation. Written comments 
in advance are encouraged. Please send all written material to: 
Victoria Kennedy, Syracuse University, Environmental Finance Center, 
219 Maxwell Hall, Syracuse, NY 13244-1090.

    Dated: September 13, 1995.
