Action Presidential Commission; Meeting

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of meeting.

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

    Notice is hereby given in accordance with the Federal Advisory 
Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. appendix, that the National Museum of African 
American History and Culture Plan for Action Presidential Commission 
will meet March 24 and 25, 2003, in the Atrium Ballroom of The 
Washington Court Hotel, 525 New Jersey Avenue, NW., Washington, DC. On 
March 24, the Commission will convene at 8 a.m., e.s.t., and adjourn at 
5:15 p.m., e.s.t. March 25, the Commission will convene at 8 a.m., 
e.s.t., and adjourn at 1:30 p.m., e.s.t.
    On March 24, the Commission will receive and deliberate reports 
from its Executive Committee and Committees on Mission, Role and Vision 
with Program and Collections; Site and Building; Governance and 
Organization; Fundraising, Finance and Budget; and Legislation and 
Public Relations.
    On March 25, the Commission will consider procedural matters 
relative to completing its report to the President and the Congress.
    Due to the unexpected cancellation of the original meeting space 
and the additional time required to make alternate arrangements, this 
notice could not be published at least 15 days prior to the meeting 
date. The National Park Service regrets this delay, but is compelled to 
hold the meeting as scheduled because of the significant sacrifice 
rescheduling would require of Board members who have adjusted their 
schedules to accommodate the proposed meeting date.
    The Commission meeting is open to the public. Space and facilities 
to accommodate the public are limited and attendees will be 
accommodated on a first-come basis.

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 the 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 submit a written statement, may contact George S. 
McDonald, Project Manager, National Museum of African American History 
and Culture Plan for Action Presidential Commission, National Park 
Service, U.S. Department of the Interior, 1849 C Street, NW.,

    Draft minutes of the meeting will be available for public 
inspection approximately 12 weeks after the meeting, in room 2012, Main 
Interior Building, 1849 C Street, NW., Washington, DC.

    Dated: March 5, 2003.
