SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given of public invitation to the 2003 
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) National Meeting, ``RCRA: 
Putting Resource Conservation into RCRA.'' The meeting will be held

cosponsored by the Air & Waste Management Association (A&WMA), Solid 
Waste Association of North America (SWANA), International City/County

National Meeting focuses on the Resource Conservation Challenge, which 
is a major national effort to find ways to conserve natural resources 
through waste reduction and energy recovery programs. The RCRA National 
Meeting is a great opportunity to share with, and learn from, all 
interested stakeholders. It promotes new EPA initiatives, fosters 
discussion, and provides education and information on regional, state, 
and tribal RCRA issues.
