New Source Review (NSR) Sector Based Approach

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Announcement of public meeting.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This is an announcement of a public meeting on
January 13, 
2000 to discuss EPA's thinking on an alternative approach for 
compliance with new source review (NSR) requirements. Our
thinking on 
such an approach has advanced to the point where we have
developed 
components that could be workable specifically for the utility
sector. 
At the meeting we plan to present this current thinking, and
to receive 
comment from stakeholders on the approach as it would apply to

utilities.

DATES: The meeting will convene at 10:00 a.m., and end at 3:30
p.m. on 
January 13, 2000.

ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held in the Polaris Room,
Ronald Reagan 
Building and International Trade Center, 1300 Pennsylvania
Avenue, NW, 
Washington, DC, 20004, telephone (202) 312-1300. All written
documents 
submitted at this public meeting will be placed in the Docket
# A-99-44 
within approximately 2 weeks after the meeting. The Docket is
available 
for public inspection and copying between 8:00 a.m. to 5:00
p.m., 
weekdays, at the EPA's Air Docket (6102), Room M-1500, 401 M

Southwest, Washington, DC 20460. A reasonable fee may be
