available at: http://www.epa.gov/ttn/atw/pvc/pvcpg.html, and also in

interested parties the opportunity to present oral comments regarding
the EPA's proposed national emission standards for hazardous air
pollutants, including data, views, or arguments concerning the
proposal. The EPA may ask clarifying questions during the oral
presentations, but will not respond to the presentations at that time.
Written statements and supporting information submitted during the

Commenters should notify Ms. Clemons if they will need specific

equipment for commenters to show overhead slides or make computerized

encourages commenters to provide the Agency with a copy of their oral
testimony electronically (via e-mail or CD), or in hard copy form.
The hearing schedules, including lists of speakers, will be posted

transcripts of the hearings and written statements will be included in
