>Additional 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 regulations
>will cover boilers, process heaters, industrial/commercial and other
>(non-hazardous) waste incinerators, stationary internal combustion
>engines, and stationary gas turbines.
>    The Coordinating Committee will provide a means for considering
>important regulatory issues and building stakeholder consensus on these
>issues prior to proposal. The Committee will establish Work Groups as
>necessary to fulfill these objectives. The EPA will recommend Work
>Group membership for approval by the Coordinating Committee at the
>October 1, 1996 Coordinating Committee meeting. However, it is expected
>that Work Group membership will remain open for a period of time so
>that adjustments can be made. The first Work Group organizational
>meetings will take place on October 2, 1996, beginning about mid-
>morning and will consist of two combined meetings. One Work Group
>meeting will be a combination of the boilers, process heaters, and
>incinerators Work Groups; the other Work Group meeting will be a
>combination of the stationary internal combustion engines and
>stationary gas turbines Work Groups. The Work Groups for Test Methods
>and Economics will also meet either separately or combined with one of
>the Work Groups mentioned above.
