Notice of Public Meeting Concerning Heavy Duty Diesel Engine 
Consent Decrees

    The Department of Justice and the Environmental Protection Agency 
announce a public meeting to be held on September 10, 1999 at 11:00 
a.m. at 810 7th Street, NW., Main Conference Room (3102), Washington, 
DC. The subject of the meeting will be implementation of the provisions 
of seven consent decrees signed by the United States and diesel engine 
manufactures and entered by the United States District Court for the 
District of Columbia on July 1, 1999. In supporting entry by the court 
of the decrees, the United States committed to meet with states, 
industry groups, environmental groups, and concerned citizens to 
discuss consent decree implementation issues. This will be the first of 
a series of public meetings to be held quarterly

during the first year of implementation of the consent decrees and at 
least annually thereafter. Future meetings will be announced in the 
Federal Register and/or on EPA's Diesel Engine Settlement web page at: 
www.epa.gov/oeca/ore/aed/diesel.
    This first meeting will likely focus on the United States' review 
of the Company Proposed project plans and in-use testing plans and 
implementation of the Low NOX rebuild program. Interested 
parties may contact the Environmental Protection Agency prior to the 
meeting at the address listed below with questions or suggestions for 
other topics of discussion. During the week prior to the meeting, 
questions and suggestions for topics of discussion which have been 
received will also be posted on the EPA web site.
