incidents at the Honeywell International Inc. plant in Baton Rouge, 
Louisiana in 2003, is being temporarily postponed. The public meeting 
was originally scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. local time on March 2, 
2005, at the Holiday Inn Select, Executive Center, 4728 Constitution 
Avenue, Baton Rouge, LA 70808. The original Federal Register notice 
announcing the meeting was published on Wednesday, February 16, 2005,

been reviewed.
    On July 20, 2003, a release of chlorine gas from the Honeywell 
plant resulted in injuries to seven plant workers and issuance of a 
shelter-in-place advisory for residents within a half-mile radius. On 
July 29, 2003, a one-ton cylinder at the same plant released its 
contents to the atmosphere, fatally injuring a plant worker by exposure 
to toxic antimony pentachloride. On August 13, 2003, two workers at the 
plant were exposed to toxic hydrofluoric acid (HF), and one of them was 
hospitalized.
