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 [[Page 7965]] 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 agenda will include a presentation on the Task Force 
accomplishments to date, and a discussion of life-cycle analysis and 
effluent guidelines regulations. Much of the meeting time will be set 
aside as working time for the three work groups initiated at the last 
meeting: selecting industries for regulation; co-regulation (cross-
media); and pretreatment (pass-through determination).
    The meeting will be open to the public. 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 Sheila Frace at 
the above address. Comments submitted by February 21 will be considered 
by the Task Force at or subsequent to the meeting.
Eric Strassler,
Designated Federal Official.
