>  
>  Purpose: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is convening several
>  focus group meetings to confirm and expand our understanding of our
>  customers' needs for a locator to EPA information. The purpose of the
>  meetings is to engage EPA's constituencies in dialogue about their specific
>  requirements for EPA's GILS, so that EPA can better tailor its GILS to fit
>  customer needs.
>  
>  Audience: This first public focus group is designed to include any likely
>  users of EPA's GILS, and any interested parties, except for EPA staff (EPA
>  staff will attend separate sessions). Diverse interest groups and varied
>  perspectives are welcome.
>  
>  Outcomes: Results of the focus group meetings will be combined with results
>  from internal EPA meetings, and will be used to help set the near- and
>  long-term agenda for development, enhancement, and sustainability of GILS
>  at EPA.
>  
>  Logistics: The meeting will take place on Monday, June 26, 1995, from
>  9:00am to noon at EPA's Region 9 Office, 75 Hawthorne Street, San
>  Francisco, CA. The meeting will be held in the Hawaii/Palau Room (left side
>  of lobby), and there is no cost to participate.
>  
>  Registration: To keep the focus group attendance to a workable size (i.e.,
>  one in which voices can be readily heard and thoughts recorded), ADVANCE
>  REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED. To register, please contact one of the following
>  by June 22, and let them know your name, company or affiliation (if any),
>  telephone and fax numbers.
