supplementary information: NHTSA will hold its regular, quarterly 
meeting from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., to answer questions from the 
public and the regulated industries regarding the agency's rulemaking, 
enforcement and other programs, on March 24, 1993. 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 23, 1994 from 1:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. and 
should be submitted to the Research and Development Office. However, 
questions on aspects of the agency's research and development

submitted, as in the past, to the agency's Rulemaking Office. The 
meetings will be held at the Ramada Inn, near the Detroit Metro 
Airport, 8270 Wickham Road, Romulus, MI 48174. The purpose of the 
meeting is to focus on those phases of NHTSA activities which are 
technical, interpretative or procedural in nature. Transcripts of the 
meetings will be available for public inspection in the NHTSA Technical 
Reference Section in Washington, DC, within four weeks after the 
meetings. 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 
public from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
