ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
[FRL-7937-7]
Notice of Public Meeting and Conference Calls: Meeting of the
National Drinking Water Advisory Council's Subgroup on Drinking Water
Program Performance Indicators and Measures
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Under Section 10(a)(2) of Public Law 92-423, The Federal
Advisory Committee Act, notice is hereby given for a meeting of a
subgroup of the National Drinking Water Advisory Council (NDWAC or
Council). This Council was authorized by the Safe Drinking Water Act in
1974 (42 U.S.C. 300f et seq.) to support the Environmental Protection
Agency in performing its responsibilities related to the national
drinking water program. In June 2005, the Council established a
subgroup to develop recommendations for EPA to move drinking water
program measures from outputs to outcomes in three steps. Step 1 will
be to recommend changes to the current performance measures that move
them toward outcomes. Step 2 will be to recommend new performance
measures that can capture some public health outcomes and be included
in EPA's next strategic plan. Step 3 will be to identify future
performance measures that need additional development. The subgroup
will report to the NDWAC by mid-September 2005.
DATES: The face-to-face meeting of the subgroup will be held on
Thursday, July 21, 2005, from 8:30 to 5 p.m., and Friday, July 22,
2005, 8:30 a.m. to noon, eastern daylight time.
ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held at the Doubletree Hotel Washington
(formerly the Washington Terrace Hotel), 1515 Rhode Island Avenue, NW.,
Washington, DC 20005. In addition to this meeting, conference calls
