Item 5.04. Temporary Suspension of Trading Under Registrant's Employee Benefit Plans.

On May 9, 2005, EnPro Industries, Inc. sent a notice (the "Notice") to its directors and executive officers informing them of a temporary suspension of trading (the "Blackout Period") under the EnPro Industries, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan and Retirement Program (the "Plans"). Attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference is a copy of the Notice.

The reason for the Blackout Period is to complete the transition of the record keeping and administrative services associated with the Plans to Schwab Retirement Services, Inc. who will become the new record keeper for the Plans on or about July 1, 2005. This transition will temporarily prevent participants in the Plans from engaging in transactions that are otherwise available under the Plans, including loans, distributions, changes to investment elections and fund transfers.

The Notice indicates that the Blackout Period will begin on June 21, 2005 and end during the week of July 18, 2005. EnPro Industries, Inc. provided the Notice to its directors and executive officers in accordance with Section 306 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Rule 104 of Regulation BTR. EnPro Industries, Inc. received the notice required by Section 101(i)(2)(E) of the Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, on May 9, 2005.

Enquiries concerning the Blackout Period should be directed to Steve Spradling, Director, Compensation and Benefits, by telephone at 704-731-1500 or by mail at:

EnPro Industries, Inc.
5605 Carnegie Boulevard
Suite 500
Charlotte, NC 28209-4674

During the Blackout Period and for two years after the ending date of the Blackout Period, security holders and other interested persons may obtain, without charge, the actual beginning and ending dates of the Blackout Period by contacting the individual specified above.
