Commission

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of meetings.

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

SUMMARY: The United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) 
is announcing a series of meetings of committees of the Grand Canyon 
Visibility Transport Commission (Commission). The Commission was 
established by EPA on November 13, 1991 (see 56 FR 57522, November 12, 
1991). These meetings are not subject to provisions of the Federal 
Advisory Committee Act, Public Law 92-463, as amended.

DATES: The meetings will be held as follows:
    Alternatives Assessment Committee--Monday through Wednesday, April 
18 to 20, 1994, beginning at 8:30 am.
    Aerosol and Visibility Subcommittee--Wednesday, April 20, 1994, 
beginning at 1:00 pm.
    Modeling Subcommittee--Thursday, April 21, 1994, beginning at 8 am.
    Meteorology Subcommittee--Thursday, April 21, 1994, beginning at 
10:30 am.
    Emissions Subcommittee--Friday, April 22, 1994, beginning at 8:30

ADDRESSES: The Alternatives Assessment Committee will be held at 600 
17th Street, Suite 1800, North Tower, Denver, Colorado.
    All four subcommittee meetings will be held at the Desert Research 
Institute, 755 East Flamingo Road, Las Vegas, Nevada.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. John Leary, Project Manager for 
the Grand Canyon Visibility Transport Commission, Western Governors'

80202; telephone number (303) 623-9378; facsimile machine number (303) 
534-7309.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The first meeting will be the Commission's 
Alternative Assessment Committee. The purpose of the meeting will be 
the finalization of a request for proposals (RFP) to be issued to 
perform the overall assessment of the emission management options and 
scenarios. The meeting will be closed to the general public. This 
action is being taken to ensure that potential bidders on the 
assessment are not given an unfair advantage by attending this meeting. 
A bidders conference will be held at a later date as part of the RFP 
process to ensure bidders have an opportunity to gain a full 
understanding of the assessment needs.
    The second set of meetings will be the Commission's Aerosol and 
Visibility, Modeling, Meteorology, and Emissions Subcommittees. The 
Aerosol and Visibility Subcommittee main agenda items will be to 
establish the bounds of natural background visibility distributions in 
the transport region, and update other work plan tasks. The Modeling 
Subcommittee's agenda will focus on reviewing proposed modeling 
protocols. The Meteorology Subcommittee's primary agenda items will be 
to compare back-trajectory model results and to develop a synoptic 
characterization for the years 1982-1992 for the Grand Canyon region. 
The Emissions Subcommittee, finally, will focus on approving the 1990 
emissions inventory, and work on micro and future base inventories. The 
subcommittee meetings are open to the public.
