DEFENSE BASE CLOSURE AND REALIGNMENT COMMISSION
Notice of the 2005 Defense Base Closure and Realignment
Commission--Open Meeting
AGENCY: Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission.
ACTION: Notice; 2005 Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission--
open meeting (Fairbanks, AK).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that a delegation of Commissioners of
the 2005 Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission will hold an
open meeting on June 15, 2005, from 1 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. at The Carlson
Center, 2010 Second Avenue, Fairbanks, Alaska 99701. The delay of this
notice resulted from the short time-frame established by statute for
the operations of the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission
and the need to coordinate the schedules of the various Federal, State
and local officials whose participation was judged essential to a
meaningful public discussion. The Commission requests that the public
consult the 2005 Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission Web
site, http://www.brac.gov, for updates.
The delegation will meet to receive comment from Federal, State and
local government representatives and the general public on base
realignment and closure actions in Alaska that have been recommended by
the Department of Defense (DoD). The purpose of this
[[Page 33128]]
regional meeting is to allow communities experiencing a base closure or
major realignment action (defined as loss of 300 civilian positions or
400 military and civilian positions) an opportunity to voice their
concerns, counter-arguments, and opinions in a live public forum. This
meeting will be open to the public, subject to the availability of
space. The delegation will not render decisions regarding the DoD
recommendations at this meeting, but will gather information for later
deliberations by the Commission as a whole.
DATES: June 15, 2005, from 1 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.
ADDRESSES: The Carlson Center, 2010 Second Avenue, Fairbanks, Alaska
