SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant

to the Federal Advisory Committee Act

(Pub. L. 92–463), the Environmental

Protection Agency gives notice of a

meeting of the Effluent Guidelines Task

Force (EGTF). The EGTF is a

subcommittee of the National Advisory

Council for Environmental Policy and

Technology (NACEPT), the external

policy advisory board to the

Administrator of EPA.

The EGTF was established in July of

1992 to advise EPA on the Effluent

Guidelines Program, which develops

regulations for dischargers of industrial

wastewater pursuant to Title III of the

Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.).

The Task Force consists of members

appointed by EPA from industry, citizen

groups, state and local government, the

academic and scientific communities,

and EPA regional offices. The Task

Force was created to offer advice to the

Administrator on the long-term strategy

for the effluent guidelines program, and

particularly to provide

recommendations on a process for

expediting the promulgation of effluent

guidelines. The Task Force generally

does not discuss specific effluent

guideline regulations currently under

development.

The meeting is open to the public,

and limited seating for the public is

available on a first-come, first-served

basis. The public may submit written

comments to the Task Force regarding

improvements to the Effluent

Guidelines program. Comments should

be sent to Beverly Randolph at the
