>SUMMARY: As required by section 9(a)(2) of the Federal Advisory
>Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C. App. 2, section 9(c), EPA hereby gives
>notice of the establishment of the Industrial Combustion Coordinated
>Rulemaking Advisory Committee (hereafter referred to as the
>Coordinating Committee). The EPA has determined that this action is in
>the public interest and that the Coordinating Committee will support
>EPA in performing its duties and responsibilities under sections 111,
>112, and 129 of the Clean Air Act (the Act).
>    The Coordinating Committee has been established and members will
>include a balanced representation of interested persons with
>professional qualifications and experience to contribute to the
>functions of the Coordinating Committee. Members will be drawn from:
>environmental, public health, pollution prevention, and environmental
>justice groups; State/local regulatory agencies; affected sources
>(includes a variety of industrial, commercial, and institutional
>establishments as well as small businesses and government and tribal
>agencies that own boilers, process heaters, waste incinerators,
>combustion turbines, and/or IC engines); manufacturers--including small
>business manufacturers--of combustors, emission controls, emission
>monitoring/testing equipment, and pollution prevention techniques; fuel
>producers and suppliers; labor and academic research; and EPA.
>    Another Federal Register notice will be published to announce the
>initial meeting dates and the members selected by EPA to be on the
>Coordinating Committee. The EPA is actively seeking nominations for the
>Coordinating Committee and the Work Groups. The Federal Register notice
>announcing the intent to form an Advisory Committee, requesting
>nominations for candidates, and announcing a public meeting to be held
>on July 24, 1996 was published on June 21, 1996 (61 FR 31883).
>
>DATES: The first meeting of the Industrial Combustion Coordinated
>Rulemaking Coordinating Committee will be held in early October. The
>first Work Group meetings are also expected to be held in October.

>telephone number (919) 541-5251.
>
>SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Two copies of the Coordinating Committee
>charter are filed with appropriate committees of Congress and the
>Library of Congress and are available upon request. The purpose of the
>Coordinating Committee is to assist EPA in the development of
>regulations to control emissions of air pollutants from industrial,
>commercial, and institutional combustion of fuels and non-hazardous
>solid wastes. The Coordinating Committee will attempt to develop
>recommendations for national emission standards for hazardous air
>pollutants (NESHAP) implementing section 112 and solid waste combustion
>regulations implementing section 129 of the Act, and may review and
>make recommendations for revising and developing new source performance
>standards (NSPS) under section 111 of the Act. The regulations will
>cover boilers, process heaters, industrial/commercial and other (non-
>hazardous) waste incinerators, stationary internal combustion engines,
>and stationary gas turbines.
[snip]
> If consensus is not
>reached, the Coordinating Committee shall report majority and minority
>recommendations to EPA. The EPA retains its full and independent
>decision-making authority and responsibility. A consensus-based
>recommendation to EPA will, however, be given great consideration in
>these decisions.
>    The Coordinating Committee likely will need several closely-spaced
>meetings during the initial phases of the Industrial Combustion
>Coordinated Rulemaking. After that, regular quarterly meetings may be
>sufficient.
