EPA's Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics is postponing its March 3, 1994 meeting to discuss its strategy for developing health-based standards for lead in paint, dust, and soil (59 FR 9170, February 25, 1994). The purpose of the meeting was to review the Agency's regulatory approach and the findings of recent analytical and research efforts and to obtain feedback from technical experts and stakeholders. Section 403 of the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 directed the Agency to promulgate a regulation which shall identify lead-based paint hazards, lead contaminated dust, and lead contaminated soil. The meeting was scheduled to be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the EPA Auditorium in the EPA Education Center, 401 M St., SW., Washington, DC, 20460. EPA will announce the new date for the meeting in the Federal Register as soon as it is scheduled.
