DEFENSE BASE CLOSURE AND REALIGNMENT COMMISSION
Notice of the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission--
Cancellation of an Open Meeting
AGENCY: Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission.
ACTION: Notice; Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission--
Cancellation of Open Meeting (Salt Lake City, UT).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the previously announced open
meeting of a delegation of the 2005 Defense Base Closure and
Realignment Commission scheduled for June 6, 2005 from 2 p.m. to 4:30
p.m. in Salt Lake City, Utah, has been cancelled. After extensive
coordination with the various Federal, state and local officials
concerned, the Commission determined that it was not possible to hold a
meaningful public discussion on the date scheduled because
Congressional delegations and community representatives had not been
afforded adequate opportunity to analyze the data used by the
Department of Defense (DoD) to formulate the base closure and
realignment recommendations due to delays by DoD in releasing that data
in an unclassified form. The Utah and Idaho Congressional delegations
have been offered the opportunity to participate in the regional
hearing currently scheduled in Portland, Oregon on June 17, 2005.
The delay of this notice resulted from unanticipated delays by DoD
in the release of the data used by DoD to formulate the base closure
and realignment recommendations in an unclassified form and the short
time-frame established by statute for the operations of the Defense
Base Closure and Realignment Commission. The Commission requests that
the public consult the 2005 Defense Base Closure and Realignment
Commission Web site, http://www.brac.gov, for updates.
DATES: Not applicable.
ADDRESSES: Not applicable.

decision criteria described in The Defense Base Closure and Realignment
Act of 1990, as amended, available on the Commission Web site. Sections
2912 through 2914 of that Act describe the criteria and many of the
