The formal notification of the Panel was received by the Office of Advocacy on June 3, 2005. Advocacy concurs with the preliminary list of Small Entity Representatives (SERs) that EPA has proposed for Panel process. We understand that EPA would like to have a pre-Panel meeting with the SERs in the next few weeks and convene the Panel in September. This timeframe should be workable. We look forward to working with you through this process. Sincerely, /s/ _____________________ Thomas M.
