DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


Notice of Public Meeting; Concerning Heavy Duty Diesel Engine 
Consent Decrees

    The Department of Justice and the Environmental Protection Agency 
announce a public meeting to be held on March 21, 2000 from 10:00 a.m. 
to 12:00 p.m. at 1425 New York Ave., N.W., 13th Floor Conference Room, 
Washington, DC. The subject of the meeting will be implementation of 
the provisions of seven consent decrees signed by the United States and 
diesel engine manufacturers and entered by the United States District 
Court for the District of Columbia on July 1, 1999. In supporting entry 
by the Court of the decrees, the United States committed to meet with 
states, industry groups, environmental groups, and concerned citizens 
to discuss consent decree implementation issues. This will be the third 
of a series of public meetings to be held quarterly during the first 
year of implementation of the consent decrees and at least annually 
thereafter. Future meetings will be announced in the Federal Register 
and/or on EPA's Diesel Engine Settlement web page at: www.epa.gov/oeca/ore/aed/diesel.
    Topics covered will likely include the manufacturers' progress 
toward meeting the emission standards in the Consent Decrees and EPA's 
recent approval of the manufacturers' Project proposals. Interested 
parties may contract the Environmental Protection Agency prior to the 
meeting at the address listed below with questions or suggestions for 
other topics of discussion.
