to the meeting dates. The National Park Service regrets this error, but 
is compelled to hold the meeting as scheduled because of the 
significant sacrifice re-scheduling would require of Commission members 
who have adjusted their schedules to accommodate the proposed meeting 
dates, and the high level of anticipation by all parties who will be 
affected by the outcome of the Commission's actions.

Assistance to Individuals with Disabilities at the Public Meeting

    The meeting site is accessible to individuals with disabilities. If 
you plan to attend and will need an auxiliary aid or service to 
participate in the meeting (e.g., interpreting service, assistive 
listening device, or materials in an alternative format), notify the 
contact person listed in this notice at least two weeks (2 weeks) 
before the scheduled meeting date. Attempts will be made to meet any 
request(s) we receive after that date, however we may not be able to 
make the requested auxiliary aid or service available because of 
insufficient time to arrange for it.
    Anyone may file with the Commission a written statement concerning 
the establishment of a National Museum for African American History and 
Culture. The Commission may also permit attendees to address the 
assembled Commission, but may restrict the length of the presentations, 
as necessary to allow the Commission to complete its agenda within the 
allotted time.
    Anyone who wishes further information concerning the meeting, or 
who wishes to Staff to the Commission, National Museum of African 
American History and submit a written statement, may contact George S.
