the docket identified below. The public hearings will provide 
interested parties the opportunity to present oral comments regarding 
the EPA's proposed national emission standards for hazardous air 
pollutants, including data, views, or arguments concerning the 
proposal. The EPA may ask clarifying questions during the oral 
presentations, but will not respond to the presentations at that time. 
Written statements and supporting information submitted during the 
comment period will be considered with the same weight as any oral 
comments and supporting information presented at the public hearing.
    Commenters should notify Ms. Clemons if they will need specific 
equipment, or if there are other special needs related to providing 
comments at the hearings, such as a translator. The EPA will provide 
equipment for commenters to show overhead slides or make computerized 
slide presentations if we receive special requests in advance. Oral 
testimony will be limited to 5 minutes for each commenter. The EPA 
encourages commenters to provide the Agency with a copy of their oral 
testimony electronically (via e-mail or CD), or in hard copy form.
    The hearing schedules, including lists of speakers, will be posted 
on EPA's Web sites http://www.epa.gov/ttn/atw/pvc/pvcpg.html. Verbatim 
transcripts of the hearings and written statements will be included in 
the docket for the rulemaking.
    EPA will make every effort to follow the schedule as closely as 
possible on the day of the hearings; however, please plan for the 
hearing to run either ahead of schedule or behind schedule.
