Notice of Public Meeting

AGENCY: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Under Section 10(a)(2) of Public Law 92-423, ``The Federal 
Advisory Committee Act,'' notice is hereby given that a meeting of the 
Drinking Water Research Working Group of the National Drinking Water 
Advisory Council established under the Safe Drinking Water Act, as 
amended (42 U.S.C. S300F et seq.), will be held on June 21-22, 2001. On 
June 21 the meeting will be held from 1:30-6:00 pm ET (with a possible 
evening session), and on June 22 from 9:00-3:00 pm, at Resolve, 1255 
23rd Street, NW., Suite 275, Washington, DC 20037. The meeting will be 
open to public to observe and statements will be taken from the public 
as time allows. Seating is limited.
    This is the second meeting of the Drinking Water Research Working 
Group. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) anticipates 2 meetings 
of this working group over the course of the next year. The purpose of 
this working group will be to provide advice to NDWAC as it develops 
recommendations for EPA on a Comprehensive Drinking Water Research 
Strategy (as required under the Safe Drinking Water Act) that will 
consider a broad range of research needs to support the Agency's 
drinking water regulatory activities. The research strategy will 
include an assessment of research needs for microbes and disinfection 
by-products (M/DBPs), arsenic, contaminants on the Contaminants 
Candidate List (CCL), and other critical cross-cutting issues, such as 
sensitive subpopulations, distribution systems, contaminants mixtures, 
future scenarios and source water assessment. This meeting will focus 
on reviewing the new outline for the Comprehensive Drinking Water 
Research Strategy, and discussing selected contaminants and cross-
cutting/emerging issues.
    For more information, please contact Maggie Javdan, U.S. EPA 
(4607), Office of Ground Water and Drinking Water, 1200 Pennsylvania 
Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20460. The telephone is 202-260-9862, fax
