SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background: After receiving a request from EPA's Office of
Atmospheric Programs to provide advice on the Second Generation Model,
the SAB Staff Office formed an SAB Panel to respond to the Agency's
request. A ``widecast'' soliciting expertise for the SGM Advisory Panel
was provided in a Federal Register notice published on July 9, 2004 (69
FR 41474-41475). Another Federal Register notice published on November
18, 2004 (69 FR 67579-67580) provided notice of a December 2, 2004
teleconference of the SGM Advisory Panel. Posted on the SAB Web site
(http://www.epa.gov/ sab/) are a final roster of the Panel and charge
questions from the Office of Atmospheric Programs. Additional
background material on the Second Generation Model may be found at:
http://www.epa.gov/air/sgm-sab.html. On February 4, 2005, panelists
will hear from the model developers, discuss background materials and
plan for the writing of the SAB Panel's advice. A meeting agenda will
be posted on the SAB Web site prior to February 4, 2005.

SAB Staff Office to accept written public comments of any length, and
