Information Need	Primary Audience	Where Information Is Addressed
Access to this information via the Internet, preferably the World Wide Web. It was recommended that EPA establish a web page specifically for the subcommittee process.	Environmental/public interest	Ozone/Pm/Regional Haze FACA Website - July 1996
Graphics on PM-10/2.5 and ozone source emissions and trends.	Environmental/public interest
Recommendation that EPA issue a press release on the Subcommittee process and the regionality of the ozone/PM air pollution problem (observation that EPA press releases get better coverage than those of environmental/public interest groups).	Environmental/public interest, State/local agencies
A single contact at EPA for environmental/public interest groups on the PM/ozone/regional haze implementation issue.	Environmental/public interest
