ENVIRONMENTAL COST ANALYSIS: AN INFORMATION EXCHANGE Contact, Teresa Reed Kishlock, 814/269-2800. Concurrent Technologies Corporation (CTC) is hosting ``Environmental Cost Analysis: An Information Exchange'' at the Environmental Technology Facility in Johnstown, PA, on September 13-14, 1995. The Information Exchange is sponsored by the National Defense Center for Environmental Excellence (NDCEE), operated by CTC for the Department of Defense (DOD). The NDCEE leads and supports DOD facilities and the associated industrial base in adopting a comprehensive approach to pollution prevention and addresses other high priority environmental issues. The Information Exchange will address the National Performance Review (NPR) proposed adoption of Environmental Cost Accounting guidelines in the Federal Government. It will provide a forum for discussions on environmental cost analysis practices in the Federal Government. Representatives from the financial community, industrial, military, regulatory, and federal agencies will describe their ongoing projects to adopt environmental cost analysis practices within their programs. The problems encountered in implementing ``green accounting'' will also be discussed. Suppliers of life cycle assessment and information analysis systems will have an opportunity to describe their products and present relevant information. Through data sharing in a workshop environment, informal discussion will help attendees learn more about the implications and trends in environmental cost analysis practices in expectation of a presidential directive for the adoption of the environmental accounting guidelines by the Federal Government. Participants will gain information to help them prevent duplication of effort, ultimately saving valuable time and money. Co-sponsoring this Information Exchange are the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Institute of Management Accounts (IMA), and the U.S. Army Armaments Research Development & Engineering Center (ARDEC). Abstracts summarizing activities regarding environmental cost analysis practices are being accepted for presentations. Also, a limited number of spaces are available for organizations wishing to display their software, products, and services.
