SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Pursuant to the Federal Advisory Committee Act (Pub.L. 92-463), the 
Environmental Protection Agency gives notice of a meeting of the 
Effluent Guidelines Task Force (EGTF). The EGTF is a committee of the 
National Advisory Council for Environmental Policy and Technology 
(NACEPT), the external policy advisory board to the Administrator of 
EPA.
    The EGTF was established in July of 1992 to advise EPA on the 
Effluent Guidelines Program, which develops regulations for dischargers 
of industrial wastewater pursuant to Title III of the Clean Water Act 
(33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.). The Task Force consists of members appointed 
by EPA from industry, citizen groups, state and local government, the 
academic and scientific communities, environmental justice community, 
and EPA regional offices. The Task Force was created to offer advice to 
the Administrator on the long-term strategy for the effluent guidelines 
program, and particularly to provide recommendations on a process for 
expediting the promulgation of effluent guidelines. The Task Force 
generally

Effluent Guidelines program. Comments should be sent to Beverly
