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 review specific 
effluent guideline regulations currently under development.
    The meeting agenda will include continued discussions on draft 
recommendations concerning subcategorization of industries in effluent 
guidelines. There will also be consideration of a draft report on 
methodology for conducting preliminary industry studies.
    The meeting is 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 EPA at the 
above address. Comments submitted will be transmitted to Task Force 
members for consideration.

    Dated: October 21, 1994.
Eric Strassler,
Designated Federal Official, Effluent Guidelines Task Force.
