SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Details about Participating in the Event: The public is invited to 
speak during the July 25 listening session. Those interested in 
speaking can sign up for a 3-minute speaking slot on EPA's website at 
https://www.epa.gov/pfas/pfas-community-engagement. Please check this 
website for event materials as they become available, including a full 
agenda, leading up to the event.
    The PFAS National Leadership Summit: On May 22-23, 2018, the EPA 
hosted the PFAS National Leadership Summit. During the summit, 
participants worked together to share information on ongoing efforts to 
characterize risks from PFAS, develop monitoring and treatment/cleanup 
techniques, identify specific near-term actions (beyond those already 
underway) that are needed to address challenges currently facing states 
and local communities, and develop risk communication strategies that 
will help communities to address public concerns regarding PFAS.
    The EPA wants to assure the public that their input is valuable and 
meaningful. Using information from the National Leadership Summit, 
public docket, and community engagements, the EPA plans to develop a 
PFAS Management Plan for release later this year. A summary of the 
Pennsylvania Community Engagement will be made available to the public 
following the event on the EPA's PFAS Community Engagement website at: 
https://www.epa.gov/pfas/pfas-community-engagement.
