Supplementary Information
EPA Region III will hold a series of 6 public meetings throughout the Region to define public environmental information needs. Each meeting will focus on the needs of a particular stakeholder group. Each group represents an information intermediary, i.e., the information affects or is transferred to a larger group such as customers, students, patients, etc. Results of the meetings will be used to improve the Region's response to the public's demand for environmental information. One possible improvement, for example, would be a revised Regional website. The public is invited to attend these meetings as observers and/or to provide comment during a public comment period at the end of each meeting. Requests to attend the meetings and/ or provide oral comments at the meetings must be received at least 10 working days prior to the scheduled meetings. The times and addresses of the meetings can be obtained from the EPA contact person (listed above) two weeks prior to each meeting. As presently planned, the schedule for the public meetings is as follows:
