The site includes a calendar for subcommittee meetings, e-mail distribution lists, and a ‘‘Wiki’’ (https://teitac.org/wiki/ TEITAC_Wiki) which provides interactive online work space. Committee meetings are open to the public and interested persons can attend the meetings and communicate their views. Members of the public will have opportunities to address the Committee on issues of interest to them and the Committee during public comment periods scheduled on each day of the meeting. Members of groups or individuals who are not members of the Committee are invited to participate on subcommittees that were formed at the first meeting. The Access Board believes that participation of this kind is very valuable to the advisory committee process. The meeting site is accessible to individuals with disabilities. Sign language interpreters, assistive listening systems, and real-time captioning will be provided. For the comfort of other participants, persons attending Committee meetings are requested to refrain from using perfume, cologne, and other fragrances. Due to security measures at the Transportation Security Administration, all attendees must notify Timothy Creagan (see contact information, above) by January 23, 2007 of their intent to attend the meeting. Pre-registration is required for expeditious entry into the facility and will enable the Board to provide additional information as needed. Lawrence Roffee, Executive Director. [FR Doc.

The West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (WVDEP) is requesting that the Wood County, West Virginia (Parkersburg) portion of the Area be redesignated as attainment for the 8hour ozone NAAQS. The Area is comprised of two counties (Wood County, West Virginia and Washington County, Ohio). EPA is proposing to approve the ozone redesignation request for the Parkersburg portion of the Area. In conjunction with its redesignation request, the WVDEP submitted a SIP revision consisting of a maintenance plan for Parkersburg that provides for continued attainment of the 8-hour ozone NAAQS for the next 12 years. EPA is proposing to make a determination that Parkersburg has attained the 8-hour ozone NAAQS based upon three years of complete, qualityassured ambient air quality ozone monitoring data for 2002–2004. EPA’s PO 00000 Frm 00008 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 proposed approval of the 8-hour ozone redesignation request is based on its determination that Parkersburg has met the criteria for redesignation to attainment specified in the Clean Air Act (CAA). EPA is providing information on the status of its adequacy determination for the motor vehicle emission budgets (MVEBs) that are identified in the Parkersburg maintenance plan for purposes of transportation conformity, and is also proposing to approve those MVEBs.
