ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[FRL-7937-7]


Notice of Public Meeting and Conference Calls: Meeting of the 
National Drinking Water Advisory Council's Subgroup on Drinking Water 
Program Performance Indicators and Measures

AGENCY: 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 for a meeting of a 
subgroup of the National Drinking Water Advisory Council (NDWAC or 
Council). This Council was authorized by the Safe Drinking Water Act in 
1974 (42 U.S.C. 300f et seq.) to support the Environmental Protection 
Agency in performing its responsibilities related to the national 
drinking water program. In June 2005, the Council established a 
subgroup to develop recommendations for EPA to move drinking water 
program measures from outputs to outcomes in three steps. Step 1 will 
be to recommend changes to the current performance measures that move 
them toward outcomes. Step 2 will be to recommend new performance 
measures that can capture some public health outcomes and be included 
in EPA's next strategic plan. Step 3 will be to identify future 
performance measures that need additional development. The subgroup 
will report to the NDWAC by mid-September 2005.

DATES: The face-to-face meeting of the subgroup will be held on 
Thursday, July 21, 2005, from 8:30 to 5 p.m., and Friday, July 22, 
2005, 8:30 a.m. to noon, eastern daylight time.

ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held at the Doubletree Hotel Washington 
(formerly the Washington Terrace Hotel), 1515 Rhode Island Avenue, NW., 
Washington, DC 20005. In addition to this meeting, conference calls 
have been scheduled for August 11, August 30, and September 14, 2005; 
however, specific times for these calls have not yet been determined.
