The twelfth meeting of the Working Group established under the Clean Air Act Advisory Committee's (CAAAC) Permits/New Source Reviews/Toxics Subcommittee was held on October 17, 2002 at the Edison Electric Institute offices in Washington, D.C.

The focus of the meeting was review and discussion of the draft Final Report of the Working Group to the Subcommittee and to the full CAAAC. The final report and the presentation that was developed from the report are on the utility MACT website (http://www.epa.gov/ttn/atw/combust/utiltox/utoxpg.html).

The members discussed the draft report that had been distributed prior to the meeting (this draft did not receive public distribution). Questions of clarification were raised and addressed, with the responsible stakeholder party having the final decision on whether changes were made or not. Following the discussion, the draft report was returned to the writing group for final editing and completion.

The Final Report will be presented at the Subcommittee meeting on October 29, 2002, and at the full CAAAC meeting on October 30, 2002. Information related to these meetings may be found at http://www.epa.gov/oar/caaac/index.html.
