related to forthcoming Notices of Data Availability on the Interim 
Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule (IESWTR) and Stage 1 
Disinfectants/Disinfection Byproducts Rule (D/DBPR) to be published in 
early November. The purpose of the meetings will be to discuss the 
content of these Notices, which includes the following: new data and 
information that the Agency has obtained and analyses that have been 
developed since the 1994 proposals of the IESWTR (59 FR 38832, July, 
1994) and Stage 1 D/DBPR (59 FR 38668, July 29, 1994); information

proposal; and regulatory implications that flow from the new data and 
information. These meetings are not public hearings and EPA will not be 
accepting comments on the Notices of Data Availability at these 
meetings. Interested persons who wish to submit comments may do so 
during the 90 day public comment period described in the Notices.
    The first public meeting will take place on November 14, 1997, from
