Cape Cod National Seashore, South Wellfleet, MA; Cape Cod 
National Seashore Advisory Commission Two Hundred Fortieth Meeting; 
Notice of Meeting

    Notice is hereby given in accordance with the Federal Advisory 
Committee Act (Pub. L. 92-463, 86 Stat. 770, 5 U.S.C. App 1, section 
10), that a meeting of the Cape Cod National Seashore Advisory 
Commission will be held on Friday, January 24, 2003.
    The Commission was reestablished pursuant to Pub. L. 87-126 as 
amended by Pub. L. 105-280. The purpose of the Commission is to consult 
with the Secretary of the Interior, or his designee, with respect to 
matters relating to the development of Cape Cod National Seashore, and 
with respect to carrying out the provisions of sections 4 and 5 of the 
Act establishing the Seashore.
    The Commission members will meet at 1 p.m. at Headquarters, Marconi 
Station, Wellfleet, Massachusetts for the regular business meeting to 
discuss the following:

1. Adoption of Agenda
2. Approval of minutes of previous meeting (November 22, 2002)
3. Reports of Officers
4. Reports of Subcommittees
    Dune Shack Subcommittee
    Nickerson Fellowship Subcommittee
5. Superintendent's Report
    Marconi Event
    Salt Pond Visitor Center
    News from Washington
6. Old Business
    Invasive Species
7. New Business
    Water Supply Issues
8. Date and agenda for next meeting
9. Public comment and
10. Adjournment

    The meeting is open to the public. It is expected that 15 persons 
will be able to attend the meeting in addition to Commission members.
    Due to a delay in this notice being delivered to National Park 
Service staff during the holiday season, the notice could not be 
published at least 15 days prior to the meeting dates.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 committee 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 
committee's actions. Since the proposed meeting dates have received 
widespread publicity in area news media and among the parties most 
affected, the National Park Service believes that the public interest 
will not be adversely affected by the less-than-15 days advance notice 
in the Federal Register.
    Interested persons may make oral/written presentations to the 
Commission during the business meeting or file written statements. Such 
requests should be made to the park superintendent at least seven days 
prior to the meeting. Further information concerning the meeting may be 
obtained from the Superintendent, Cape Cod National Seashore, 99 
Marconi Site Road, Wellfleet, MA 02667.

    Dated: January 8, 2003.
A. Durand Jones,
Deputy Director, National Park Service.
