Meeting Regarding the Proposed World War II Memorial on the 
National Mall

AGENCY: Advisory Council on Historic Preservation.

ACTION: Announcement of meeting.

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

SUMMARY: A panel of members from the Advisory Council on Historic 
Preservation will hold a meeting to consider the formal comments it 
will provide regarding the adverse effects that the proposed World War 
II Memorial will have on the historic qualities of West Potomac Park, a 
property listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The 
resulting formal comments will be submitted to the Secretary of the 
Interior, pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation 
Act.

DATES: The meeting date is August 28, 2000, starting at 1 p.m.

ADDRESSES: The meeting will take place at the Department of the 
Interior Auditorium, 1849 C Street, NW., Washington, DC.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Martha Catlin, 202-606-8503.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In its review pursuant to Section 106 of the 
National Historic Preservation Act, the National Park Service has 
determined that the construction of the World War II Memorial on the 
National Mall will adversely affect the historic qualities of West 
Potomac Park, a property listed on the National Register of Historic 
Places. The Chairman of the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation 
(Council) has determined that further consultation regarding this 
project will not be productive, and that the Council will therefore 
proceed with formal comments. As part of its deliberations in 
formulating such comments, a panel of Council members will meet as 
noted above. The Council members comprising the panel will be: Cathryn 
Buford Slater (Chairman of the Council), Stephen Hand (Vice Chairman of 
the Council), Bruce D. Judd (expert member), and Paul W. Fiddick 
(designee of the Department of Agriculture).
    This meeting is open to the public. The panel will consider both 
written and oral statements from the public. Written statements should 
be submitted, on or before August 24, 2000, to the Executive Director, 
Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, 1100 Pennsylvania Ave., NW., 
Suite 809, Washington, DC 20004. Persons wishing to make oral 
statements at the meeting should notify Martha Catlin, on or before 
August 24, 2000, at 202-606-8503.
    If you need accommodations due to a disability, please contact the

    Established by the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), the 
Advisory Council on Historic Preservation is an independent Federal 
agency that provides a forum for influencing Federal activities, 
programs, and policies as they affect historic resources. Section 106 
of the NHPA requires Federal agencies to take into account the effects 
of their undertakings on historic properties and afford the Advisory 
Council a reasonable opportunity to comment on such undertakings.
