SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The upcoming U.S. Coral Reef Task Force 
meeting to be held in American Samoa in August may be logistically 
difficult for some individuals to attend due to its remote location. A 
meeting in Washington, DC has been planned so that those people unable 
to travel to American Samoa are able to receive information and attend 
this meeting. For that reason, we have scheduled a ``pre-meeting'' to 
be held in Washington, DC on July 27. Please see the notice in today's 
Federal Register for details of that meeting.
    A draft agenda for the meeting is available on the Task Force web 
site located at http://coralreef.gov. Participants are encouraged to 
submit their views on issues included in the agenda. Please provide the 
Task Force with your written comments either at the July 27 meeting or 
via mail to: Jessica Jenkins, Department of the Interior, 1849 C Street 
NW, Mail Stop 6635, Washington, DC 20240 or [email protected]. 
You may also hand-deliver written comments to the address above, Room 
3058. We will consider comments and information received by close of 
business Monday, August 7.
    You may obtain additional information about the U.S. Coral Reef 
Task Force from the Internet at http://coralreef.gov.

Deputy Assistant Secretary, Fish and Wildlife and Parks, Department of
