ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[FRL-6230-2]


Notice of Public Meetings

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency, Region III.

ACTION: Notice of public meetings.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region III Office 
will hold a series of six public meetings to obtain information from 
stakeholders regarding their use of and access to environmental 
information.

DATES: The 6 meetings will be held in late February and March, 1999. 
Specific dates and locations are listed under SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION 
below.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Diane McCreary, Region III 
Information Systems Branch, at (215) 814-5519 or email 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA Region III will hold a series of 6 
public meetings throughout the Region to define public environmental 
information needs. Each meeting will focus on the needs of a particular 
stakeholder group. Each group represents an information intermediary, 
i.e., the information affects or is transferred to a larger group such 
as customers, students, patients, etc. Results of the meetings will be 
used to improve the Region's response to the public's demand for 
environmental information. One possible improvement, for example, would 
be a revised Regional website. The public is invited to attend these 
meetings as observers and/or to provide comment during a public comment 
period at the end of each meeting. Requests to attend the meetings and/
or provide oral comments at the meetings must be received at least 10 
working days prior to the scheduled meetings. The times and addresses 
of the meetings can be obtained from the EPA contact person (listed 
above) two weeks prior to each meeting. As presently planned, the 
schedule for the public meetings is as follows:

Librarians..............................  Charlottesville, VA............  February 23, 1999.
Media...................................  Pittsburgh, PA.................  March 4, 1999.
