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 September 14, 1994. Since the agency

meetings will be held at the Ramada Inn, near the Detroit Metro

meeting is to focus on those phases of NHTSA activities which are 
technical, interpretative or procedural in nature. Transcripts of the

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
