The meeting will be coordinated through a conference call connection in Room 6013 in the USEPA, Ariel Rios Building North, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20460. The public is encouraged to attend the meeting in the conference room noted above. However, the public may also attend through a telephonic link, to the extent that lines are available (phone lines will be very limited).

## Background

                    The CASAC Technical Subcommittee on Fine Particle Monitoring (the Subcommittee) was established in 1996 to provide advice and comment to EPA (through CASAC) on appropriate                           ( print page 36692)                        methods and network strategies for monitoring fine particles in the context of implementing the revised national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) for particulate matter. The Subcommittee provided such advice on the Federal Reference Method (FRM) and mass-based fine particle network in July 1996, and has recently examined (at a public meeting on April 18-19, 2000) EPA's plans and guidance for several components of the fine particle monitoring network and how these components are linked to research priorities for particulate matter (see 65                     **Federal Register**                     16916, March 30, 2000 for more details). As a result of that meeting, the Subcommittee prepared a draft report advising the Agency on the PM2.5                     Monitoring Network.                 

## Purpose of the Meeting

                    At this meeting, the Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee, chartered under 42 U.S.C. 7409, will review a report (                    *Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee Advisory on the PM*2.5*Monitoring Network*) developed by its Technical Subcommittee on Fine Particle Monitoring.
