EPA will hold two public information sessions in Tampa, Florida. These sessions will provide opportunities for members of the public to submit written comments on EPA's proposed rule for some of Florida's coastal and estuarine waters, and on EPA's proposed rule on remanded portions of its final rule for Florida's inland waters. The public information sessions are scheduled for the afternoon of January 17, 2013 from 1:00pm until 7:00pm, and the morning of January 18, 2013 from 9:00am until 1:00pm at the Hotel Tampa (formerly Hyatt Regency Tampa) located at 211 North Tampa Street, Tampa, Florida, 33602. The public information sessions will not have an agenda and will have an "open house" format. While verbal comments will not be taken/recorded, EPA representatives will be available to help attendees submit their written comments electronically. If you need a sign language interpreter or other assistance at either of the public information sessions, please contact Beth LeaMond at 202-566-0444 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 202-566-0444 end_of_the_skype_highlighting or [email protected] at least ten business days prior to the session you want to attend so that appropriate arrangements can be made.
