    In response to a request by the U.S. Department of the Interior 
(Interior), the Commission will host a second public briefing on the 
status of negotiations under the Memorandum of Agreement for the 
Central Platte River Basin Endangered Species Recovery Implementation 
Program (MOA). The briefing will be held on Wednesday, February 14,

regularly-scheduled Commission meeting, which commences at 10:00 a.m.

about when the anticipated starting time for the briefing will be made 
available as the meeting date draws nearer and a schedule for the
