    Place: The meeting on March 16, 1994 will be held at the Dunfey San 
Mateo Hotel, 1770 S. Amphlett Boulevard, San Mateo, CA, 94402 in the

Building 702, 7 Grace Hopper Avenue, Monterey, CA, 93943-5501.
    Status: The meeting will be open to the public. Approximately 180 
seats will be available on a first-come first-served basis for the 
public on March 16 and approximately 50 seats will be available on a 
first-come first-served basis for the March 17 portion of the meeting.
    On March 16, 1994 the last hour will be set aside for oral comments 
from the public and on March 17, 1994, 11 am to 12 noon will be set 
aside for oral comments from the public. Persons wishing to speak 
during the public comment period must register on a sign-up sheet as 
they enter the meeting.
    In order to conserve the time for the transaction of Committee 
business, these periods for oral public comment must be limited. 
Therefore, it may be necessary to allocate the time available for each 
speaker and/or limit the number of speakers. Time could be limited to 5 
minutes per speaker and the number of speakers to 12 on a first-come 
first-serve basis. Accordingly, those wishing to comment on the 
proposed certification of the relocation are strongly encouraged to 
submit these comments in writing during the 60-day comment period 
following publication of the proposed certification in the Federal 
Register. It is anticipated that the proposed relocation certification 
will be published in the Federal Register shortly after the Committee 
completes consideration of this action. This comment period is 
established by section 706 of the Weather Service Modernization Act and 
provides the primary opportunity for such comments.
    Matters to Be Considered: This meeting will include: (1) A brief on 
the Certification Package for the proposed relocation of the San 
Francisco office; (2) a presentation by Jan Null, meteorologist at WSFO 
San Francisco; (3) a presentation by Norman Hoffmann, Meteorologist-In-
Charge of WSFO San Francisco; and (4) a briefing by Chet Hendrickson on 
a previous office move.
