P2 Template Discussion Forum

[Cindy McComas <mccom003@tc.umn.edu>]

The NPPR Research and Technology Tranfer (R&TT) Workgroup is hosting a 
pollution prevention technology transfer forum on the first day of NPPR's 
spring conference on Tuesday, March 21, 2000, 1-4 pm in Boston.  This 
session entitled, "Pollution Prevention Template" will showcase recent 
efforts by NPPR's R&TT workgroup and the U.S. EPA to improve diffusion of 
information about pollution prevention technologies among the states and 
potential end users.  You will hear about a new tool for standardizing the 
way information about pollution prevention technologeis is gathered and 
portrayed, and about how the tool has worked in describing innovative 
process manufacturing technologies.  Most important, we want to hear 
feedback from you on how the tool might work in your state or program.

You can sign up for this free technology transfer discussion forum by 
checking the box on the NPPR registration brochure, or calling Mihcele at 
the NPPR office at 202-466-7272 if you have already registered. The 
following agenda will provide you with more information on the content and 
speakers for the forum.  If you would like to see the P2 Template products 
developed to date, reply to this message or e-mail me at
