2000 National Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Program 
Meeting

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of Public Invitation to Plenary Sessions of RCRA 
National Meeting and to Environmental Indicator Forum Sessions.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given of public invitation to the plenary 
sessions of the regular meeting of the National Resource Conservation 
and Recovery Act (RCRA) Program, ``RCRA: Visions for the Future.'' This 
meeting, August 15-18, 2000, brings together RCRA program 
representatives from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), state 
government, and tribes. The National Meeting will explore future 
management issues of hazardous and nonhazardous (industrial, municipal, 
and other) waste. A long-standing tradition, the National RCRA Program 
Meeting continues to be a great opportunity to share with, and learn 
from, each other. It promotes new EPA Headquarters initiatives, and 
fosters discussion and education concerning regional and state issues.
    Although attendance at the National Meeting breakout sessions is 
limited to regulators, the general public is invited to attend the two 
plenary sessions. An Environmental Indicator Forum will be held during 
the Meeting. The Forum attempts to improve our efforts to ensure the 
protection of public health, and to control the migration of 
contaminated water.

DATES: The two plenary sessions at the 2000 National RCRA Program 
Meeting are open to the public. The first plenary starts at 8:30 a.m. 
on Tuesday, August 15, 2000 and ends at noon. The second plenary starts 
at 8:30 am on Thursday, August 17, 2000 and ends at 10:00 am. The 
Environmental Indicator Forum, will start at 1:00 pm on August 15, and 
continue through August 17. It is also open to the public.

ADDRESSES: The 2000 National RCRA Program Meeting and the Environmental 
Indicator Forum will both be held at the
