As previously reported (in the Committee's January 1972 Report), an initial invitation was extended to the public to submit information and comments in September 1971 (this invitation was later published by EPA in the Federal Register: 36 F.R. 23092).

Grace & Company Zwick Company Text of Committee Letter of Invitation, June 28, 1972, As provided for in Section 202(c) of the Clean Air Amendments of 1970 (PL 91-604) the National Academy of Sciences is currently conducting a study and investigation of the technological feasibility of meeting the motor vehicle emissions standards prescribed in Section 202(b) of the law. This study, which is being conducted by our Committee, forms an integral part of the process by which the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator rules upon requests for suspension of the applicable effective dates. Since it commenced its work last year the aim of our Committee has been to secure the widest possible range of information and informed opinion. While we have sought out many sources of such information, we have also encouraged individuals and organizations to submit whatever material or comment they believe is relevant to our inquiry. On September 21, 1971, we circulated to several hundred groups, publications, and individuals an invitation to submit their views to the Committee. This invitation also appeared in the Federal Register. As the Committee's study moves ahead we want to renew our invitation and extend to you and your organization another opportunity to provide us in writing with such information and comment as you may care 136 · |
