(CASAC), the Advisory Council on 

Clean Air Compliance Analysis 

(COUNCIL), their committees, and 

invited EPA and outside experts in the

overviews, workshop participants will 

be assigned to break out groups to learn 

more about the specific topic areas. The 

Workshop will conclude with the 

attendees identifying a number of issues 

that it will consider conducting in order 

to assist the EPA science programs
