The Subcommittee's purpose is to provide independent advice and counsel to the EPA on policy and technical issues associated with reforming the NSR rules.

OPEN MEETING DATES: Notice is hereby given that the Subcommittee will hold an open meeting on July 19-20, 1994 at the Hyatt Regency Crystal City, 2799 Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington, Virginia, 22202, telephone (703) 418-1234, telefax (703) 418- 1289.

At its last meeting on March 16-17, 1994, the Subcommittee discussed recommendations for program reform regarding Class I area impacts, best available control technology and NSR applicability.

At the upcoming July 19-20, 1994 meeting, the Subcommittee will have the opportunity to respond to the staff draft of the NSR reform rulemaking package.

Written comments on the draft package must be received on or before August 31, 1994. Comments concerning the draft proposal should be addressed to Ms. Lydia Wegman, Deputy Director, Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina 27711.
