TO:
PFOA
ECA
Technical
Workgroup
and
Plenary
Meeting
Attendees
At
the
last
Plenary
session
on
July
10,
2003,
future
meetings
for
the
PFOA
ECA
Fluoropolymer,
Telomer,
and
Monitoring
Technical
Workgroups
were
set
tentatively
for
the
week
of
September
15,
2003,
and
subsequent
Technical
Workgroup
and
Plenary
meetings
were
set
tentatively
for
the
week
of
October
20,
2003.

The
September
Technical
Workgroup
meetings
will
be
held
on
Tuesday,
Wednesday,
and
Thursday,
September
16,
17,
and
18,
2003,
in
Room
1133
of
the
EPA
East
Building
at
1201
Constitution
Avenue,
NW,
Washington,
DC
20460.
The
meetings
will
run
from
9:
00
AM
to
4:
00
PM
each
day.
The
schedule
of
meetings
will
be
as
follows:
Tuesday,
September
16:
Telomer
Technical
Workgroup
Wednesday,
September
17:
Fluoropolymer
Technical
Workgroup
Thursday,
September
18:
Monitoring
Technical
Workgroup
Workgroup
agendas
will
be
established
following
the
Technical
Expert
Subgroup
meetings
scheduled
for
August
14,
15,
19,
20,
and
21,
2003.
The
Technical
Workgroups
will
be
briefed
on
the
progress
made
in
the
Subgroups
and
will
provide
further
direction
to
subgroup
activities,
as
well
as
continuing
to
address
issues
not
delegated
to
subgroups.
We
also
anticipate
that,
as
decided
at
the
July
10,
2003
Plenary
session,
the
Telomer
Technical
Workgroup
agenda
will
include
the
consideration
of
fire
fighting
foam
information
presented
at
that
Plenary
session.

The
October
Workgroup
and
Plenary
sessions
have
proven
more
difficult
to
schedule.
EPA
will
be
unable
to
convene
the
Plenary
session
during
the
week
of
October
20,
2003,
because
of
a
conflict
with
an
international
meeting
involving
EPA.
Parties
at
the
Plenary
meeting
indicated
that
the
weeks
of
October
6
and
October
13,
2003,
would
also
not
be
feasible.
Accordingly,
EPA
has
tentatively
scheduled
the
Workgroup
and
Plenary
meetings
for
the
week
of
October
27,
with
Workgroup
meetings
taking
place
all
day
on
Monday
and
Tuesday,
October
27
and
28,
and
on
the
morning
of
Wednesday,
October
29,
2003.
The
Plenary
session
is
tentatively
scheduled
for
the
afternoon
of
Wednesday,
October
29,
2003.

We
are
aware
that
this
week
was
not
specifically
addressed
at
the
July
10,
2003
Plenary
session,
and
may
present
unanticipated
difficulties
for
some
of
the
Interested
Parties
wishing
to
participate
in
these
meetings.
If
this
scheduling
presents
difficulties
for
you,
please
let
us
know,
and
suggest
alternative
dates.

If
you
have
any
questions
or
comments,
please
feel
free
to
contact
me.
