SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency's Environmental Laboratory

previous ELAB meetings, as well as new business. Items to be discussed

to better serve the future needs of EPA, the States, and the private 
sector; (2) approaches to facilitate NELAP accreditation of smaller 
environmental laboratories; (3) review of ELAB recommendations to EPA; 
and (4) the reports from ELAB work groups. ELAB is soliciting input 
from the public on these and other issues related to the National

standards. Written comments on NELAP laboratory accreditation and the 
NELAC standards are encouraged and should be sent to Mr. Edward Kantor,

listen to the teleconference calls, and time permitting, will be 
allowed to comment on issues discussed during this and previous ELAB 
meetings. Those persons interested in attending should call Edward 
Kantor at 702-798-2690 to obtain teleconference information. The number 
of lines are limited and will be distributed on a first come, first 
serve basis. Preference will be given to a group wishing to attend over 
a request from an individual.
