SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Background: The Advisory Council on Clean Air Compliance Analysis 
(Council) is a Federal advisory committee chartered under the Federal 
Advisory Committee Act (FACA), as amended, 5 U.S.C., App. The Council 
is charged with providing advice, information and recommendations to 
the Agency on the economic issues associated with programs implemented 
under the Clean Air Act and its Amendments. Pursuant to a requirement 
under section 812 of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments, EPA conducts 
periodic studies to assess the benefits and the costs of the Clean Air 
Act. The Council has been the chief reviewing body for these studies 
and has issued advice on a retrospective study issued in 1997, a 
prospective study issued in 1999, and, since 2001, analytic blueprints 
for a second prospective study on the costs and benefits of clean air 
programs covering the years 1990-2020. EPA's Office of Air and 
Radiation (OAR) is proceeding to implement past advice offered by the 
Council on its forthcoming ``Second Prospective Analysis.'' OAR's Web 
site on these section 812 studies may be found at http://www.epa.gov/oar/sect812/.
    The purpose of the meeting is for OAR to provide a status update on 
the ongoing 812 study (``Benefits and Costs of the CAA--1990-2020'') 
and for the Council to provide advice on the direct cost and the 
uncertainty modeling components of the study. Council members will 
discuss whether any additional advisory activities are needed prior to 
OAR's issuance of a final report. The meeting agenda and any background 
materials will be posted on the SAB Web Site at: http://www.epa.gov/sab 
prior to the meeting.
