For further information concerning the meeting or how to obtain the phone number, please contact the individual listed below. 

## Background

                        The CASAC Technical Subcommittee for Fine Particle Monitoring (the “Subcommittee”) was established in 1996 to provide advice and comment to EPA (through CASAC) on appropriate methods and network strategies for monitoring fine particles in the context of implementing the revised national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS)                               ( print page 21139)                            for particulate matter. The Subcommittee last held a meeting/workshop on January 22, 2001 (see 66 FR 1343, January 8, 2001 for additional details). As a result of the meeting/workshop, the Subcommittee prepared a Commentary.                     

## Purpose of the Meeting

At this meeting, the CASAC will review the Subcommittee Commentary (Exploring Opportunities for Accommodating Emerging Technologies for Continuous Monitoring in Routine Air Monitoring Networks—A Commentary stemming from a CASAC/Agency Workshop) that was prepared as a result of the January 22, 2001 Subcommittee meeting. CASAC will also discuss future activities planned for the remainder of this fiscal year.
