them on consumer confidence reports, operator certification, small 
systems capacity building, the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund, 
drinking water contaminant identification, source water protection, and 
possibly rule development for microbial contaminants and disinfectants/
disinfection by-products. This meeting will also serve as a planning 
session for future Council meetings and scheduling of participation of 
its members on the working groups.
    The meeting is open to the public. The Council encourages the 
hearing of outside statements and will allocate one-half hour for this 
purpose. Oral statements will be limited to five minutes, and it is

final discussion or vote is completed. Any statements received after 
the meeting will become part of the permanent meeting file and will be 
forwarded to the Council members for their information.
