DEFENSE BASE CLOSURE AND REALIGNMENT COMMISSION
Notice of the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission
(Washington, DC)
AGENCY: Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission.
ACTION: Notice: Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission--Open
Meeting (Washington, DC).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that a delegation of the Commissioners
of the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission will hold an
open meeting on July 7, 2005 from 8:30 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. in the Ronald
Reagan Building, 1300 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20004.
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 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 the District of Columbia, Pennsylvania, and
Virginia that have been recommended by the Department of Defense (DoD).
The purpose of this regional hearing 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 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: July 7, 2005 from 8:30 a.m. to 3:15 p.m.
ADDRESSES: Ronald Reagan Building, 1300 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW.,
Washington, DC 20004.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Please see the 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 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, as
amended, available on the Commission Web site. Sections 2912 through
2914 of that Act describe the criteria and many of the essential
elements of the Base Closure and Realignment process. For questions
