------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The agendas for these meetings include review and revision of the 
ICCR databases, data and information gathering efforts, possible 
emission testing, and potential subcategorization. An opportunity will 
be provided at each meeting for the public to offer comments and 
address the Work Group.
    Individuals interested in Coordinated Committee meetings, Work 
Group meetings, or any aspect of the ICCR for that matter, should 
access the TTN on a regular basis for information.
    Two copies of the ICCR Coordinating Committee charter are filed 
with appropriate committees of Congress and the Library of Congress and 
are available upon request to the Docket (ask for item #I-B-1). The 
purpose of the ICCR Coordinating Committee is to assist EPA in the 
development of regulations to control emissions of air pollutants from 
industrial, commercial, and institutional combustion of fuels and non-
hazardous solid wastes. The Coordinating Committee will attempt to 
develop recommendations for national emission standards for hazardous 
air pollutants (NESHAP) implementing section 112 and solid waste 
combustion regulations implementing section 129 of the Act, and may 
review and make recommendations for revising and developing new source 
performance standards (NSPS) under section 111 of the Act. The 
recommendations will cover boilers, process heaters, industrial/
commercial and other incinerators, stationary internal combustion 
engines, and stationary combustion turbines.
    Lists of Coordinating Committee and Work Group members are 
available from the TTN for the purpose of giving the public the 
opportunity to contact members to discuss concerns or information they 
would like to bring forward during the ICCR process.
    It is anticipated that the next meeting of the Coordinating 
Committee, following the meeting in September, will be November 18-19, 
1997 in Houston, Texas.

    Dated: August 20, 1997.

Acting Assistant Administrator for Air and Radiation.
