SUMMARY: EPA is conducting an additional public meeting and hearing on 
the pretreatment standards for the Metal Products and Machinery (MP&M) 
proposed rule in Chicago, Illinois on March 8, 2001.
    EPA proposed effluent limitations guidelines and standards for the 
MP&M Industry in the Federal Register on January 3, 2001 (66 FR 425). 
In that document EPA announced public meetings and pretreatment 
hearings in three locations: Oakland, CA; Dallas, TX; and Washington, 
DC. Based on stakeholder requests, EPA is adding an additional public 
meeting and pretreatment hearing in Chicago, IL. For information on the 
specific location, see the ADDRESSES section below.

DATES: EPA is conducting a public meeting (9:00 AM-12:00 PM) and 
hearing on the pretreatment standards (1:00 PM-4:00 PM) for the MP&M 
proposed rule on March 8, 2001.

ADDRESSES: The Metal Products and Machinery public meeting and 
pretreatment hearing will be held at the EPA Region 5 offices in the 
Metcalfe Federal Building, 77 West Jackson Blvd., Room 331, Chicago, IL 
(312) 353-2000.

Ms. Shari Barash at (202) 260-7130 or by E-mail: [email protected]

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: During the public meeting, EPA will present

technology options selected as the basis for the proposed limitations 
and standards, and the compliance costs and pollutant reductions. EPA 
will also allow time for questions and answers during this session. 
During the pretreatment hearing, the public will have the opportunity 
to provide oral comment to EPA. EPA will not address any issues raised 
during the pretreatment hearing at that time, but these comments will 
be recorded and included in the public record for the rule. Persons 
wishing to present formal comments at the public hearing should contact 
Mr. Michael Ebner before the hearing and should have a written copy of 
their comments for submittal.
    Documents related to the proposed regulation are available on the
