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 November 28-29, 
2001. The meeting will begin at 9 a.m. on the 28th and end by 4 p.m. on 
the 29th, at RESOLVE, 1255 23rd Street, NW., Suite 275, Washington, DC 
20037. The meeting will be open to the public to observe and statements 
will be taken from the public as time allows. Seating is limited.
    This is the third meeting of the Drinking Water Research Working 
Group. The purpose of this working group is 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. 
The majority of this meeting (1.5 days) will be a workshop on futures 
scenarios. During the first half of November 28th, the working group 
will also discuss the status of the cross-cutting issues and criteria 
for prioritizing research.
