SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Advisory Council on Historic 
Preservation (ACHP) is an independent Federal agency, established by 
the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), that promotes the 
preservation, enhancement, and productive use of our Nation's historic 
resources, and advises the President and Congress on national historic 
preservation policy. Among other things, the ACHP issues formal 
comments to Federal agencies per section 106 of the NHPA. Section 106 
of the NHPA requires Federal agencies to take into account the effects 
of their undertakings on historic properties and afford the ACHP a 
reasonable opportunity to comment on such undertakings. The procedures 
in 36 CFR part 800 define how Federal agencies meet these statutory 
responsibilities.
    The ACHP will hold a public meeting July 1, 2003, beginning at 6:30 
p.m. at Massaponax High School, Fredericksburg, Virginia. The purpose 
of the meeting is to gather testimony on the U.S. Army Corps of 
Engineers Norfolk District's evaluation of a permit application 
pursuant to section 404 of the Clean Water Act for six road crossings 
over streams associated with a proposed 273-acre residential 
subdivision. The property, known as the Ashley-Orrock tract, is located 
on land eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic 
Places. It occupies parts of the site associated with the Civil War 
Battle of Chancellorsville. Following the meeting, the ACHP will 
develop comments, under section 106 of the NHPA, to forward to the 
Secretary of the Army by July 18, 2003.
