Notice of the 2005 Defense Base Closure and Realignment 
Commission--Open Meeting (Salt Lake City, UT)

AGENCY: Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission.

ACTION: Notice; 2005 Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission--
Open Meeting (Salt Lake City, UT).

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the open meeting of the 2005 
Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission in Salt Lake City, 
Utah, will be held on June 6, 2005 from 2 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Salt 
Palace Convention Center, 100 South West Temple, Salt Lake City, Utah 
84101. The delay in determining the venue, and delay of this notice 
resulted from unanticipated conflicts in the schedules of the various 
Federal, state and local officials whose participation was judged 
essential to a meaningful public discussion. The Commission requests 
that the public consult the 2005 Defense Base Closure and Realignment 
Commission Web site, http://www.brac.gov, for updates.
    The Commission will meet to receive comment from Federal, state and 
local government representatives and the general public on base 
realignment and closure actions in Idaho and Utah that have been 
recommended by the Department of Defense (DoD). The purpose of this 
regional meeting is to allow communities experiencing a base closure or 
major realignment action (defined as loss of 300 civilian positions or 
400 military and civilian positions) an opportunity to voice their 
concerns, counter-arguments, and opinions in a live public forum. This 
meeting will be open to the public, subject to the availability of 
space. The Commission will not render decisions regarding the DoD 
recommendations at this meeting, but will gather information for later 
deliberations by the Commission as a whole.

DATES: June 6, 2005 from 2 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.

ADDRESSES: Salt Palace Convention Center, 100 South West Temple, Salt 
Lake City, Utah 84101.
