Announcement of National Drinking Water Advisory Council Benefits 
Working Group Open Meeting

    Under Section 10(a)(2) of Pub. L. 92-423, ``The Federal Advisory 
Committee Act,'' notice is hereby given that a meeting of the Benefits 
Working Group of the National Drinking Water Advisory Council (NDWAC) 
established under the Safe Drinking Water Act, as amended (42 U.S. C. 
S300f et seq.), will be held on May 19, 1998 from 9:00 AM until 4:30 PM 
(approximate), and May 20, 1998 from 8:30 AM until 1:00 PM 
(approximate), in the Washington Room of the Ramada Plaza Hotel--Old 
Town, 901 North Fairfax Street, Alexandria, VA 22314. The meeting is 
open to the public, but seating will be limited.
    The purpose of this meeting is to review those quantifiable and 
non-quantifiable benefits that could be considered when developing 
drinking water regulations and provide recommendations to the Agency on 
which benefits should be evaluated in developing its regulations. The 
working group members are meeting to analyze relevant issues and facts, 
and contribute input to ``white papers'' which EPA staff will write 
after the meeting. The Working Group will be asked to review and 
comment upon these papers, which will ultimately be presented to NDWAC. 
The meeting is open to the public to observe and statements will be 
taken from the public as time allows.
    For more information, please contact, John Bennett, Designated 
Federal Officer, Benefits Working Group, U.S. EPA, Office of Ground
