supplementary information: NHTSA will hold this regular, quarterly 
meeting to answer questions from the public and the regulated 
industries regarding the agency's safety performance standards, safety 
assurance and other programs. Since the agency is holding a separate 
meeting on its research and development programs, any questions on 
those issues will only be answered at the afternoon meeting to be held 
on March 28, 1995, and should be submitted to the Research and 
Development Office. However, questions on aspects of the agency's 
research and development activities that relate to ongoing safety 
performance standards should be submitted, as in the past, to the 
agency's Safety Performance Standards Office. The March 28th and the 
March 29th meetings will be held at the Ramada Inn near the Detroit 
Metro Airport, 8270 Wickham road, Romulus, MI 48174. The purpose of 
these meetings is to focus on those phases of NHTSA activities which 
are technical, interpretative or procedural in nature. Transcripts of 
these meetings will be available for public inspection in the NHTSA 
Technical Reference Section in Washington, DC, within four weeks after 
the meeting. Copies of the transcript will then be available at ten 
cents a page, (length has varied from 100 to 150 pages) upon request to 
NHTSA Technical Reference Section, Room 5108, 400 Seventh Street SW., 
Washington, DC 20590. The Technical Reference Section is open to the
