DEFENSE BASE CLOSURE AND REALIGNMENT COMMISSION

 
Notice of the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission--
Change to the Agenda of a Previously Announced Open Meeting (Baltimore,

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 (Baltimore, 
MD); Correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission published 
a document in the Federal Register of June 13, 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 Delaware, the District of Columbia, Maryland, New Jersey, 
Pennsylvania and Virginia that have been recommended by the Department 
of Defense (DoD). The agenda for this meeting has changed. A separate 
regional hearing will be scheduled on July 7, 2005 to discuss base 
realignment and closure actions in the District of Columbia and 
Virginia that have been recommended by the Department of Defense (DoD).
    The delay of this change notice resulted from a Commission decision 
to accommodate recent requests from representatives of communities in 
the District of Columbia and Virginia 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
