AGENCY: Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission.
ACTION: Notice of the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission--
Change to the Agenda of a Previously Announced Open Meeting (Clovis,
NM); Correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission published
a document in the Federal Register of June 7, 2005, concerning an open
meeting to receive comments from Federal, state and local government
representatives and the general public on base realignment and closure
actions in New Mexico that have been recommended by the Department of
Defense (DoD). The agenda for this meeting has changed.
The delay of this change notice resulted from recent requests from
representatives of communities in Arizona and Nevada to accommodate
delegations from those communities 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.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Please see the 2005 Defense Base
Closure and Realignment Commission Web site, http://www.brac.gov. The
Commission invites the public to provide direct comment by sending an
electronic message through the portal provided on the Commission's
website or by mailing comments and supporting documents to the 2005
Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission, 2521 South Clark
Street Suite 600, Arlington, Virginia 22202-3920. The Commission
requests that public comments be directed toward matters bearing on the
decision criteria described in The Defense Base Closure and Realignment
Act of 1990, as amended, available on the Commission website. Sections
2912 through 2914 of that Act describe the criteria and many of the
essential elements of the 2005 BRAC process. For questions regarding
this announcement, contact Mr. Dan Cowhig, Deputy General Counsel and
Designated Federal Officer, at the Commission's mailing address or by
telephone at 703-699-2950 or 2708.

Realignment Commission will meet on June 24, 2005 from 8:30 a.m. to 12
p.m. at the Marshall Junior High School, 100 Commerce Way, Clovis, New
Mexico 88101, to receive comments from Federal, state and local

recommended by the Department of Defense (DoD).
The purpose of this regional meeting is to allow communities
experiencing a base closure or major realignment action (defined as

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. Sign language interpretation will
be provided. 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.
