DEFENSE BASE CLOSURE AND REALIGNMENT COMMISSION


Notice of the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission--
Cancellation of an Open Meeting

AGENCY: Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission.

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

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the previously announced open 
meeting of a delegation of the 2005 Defense Base Closure and 
Realignment Commission scheduled for June 6, 2005 from 2 p.m. to 4:30 
p.m. in Salt Lake City, Utah, has been cancelled. After extensive 
coordination with the various Federal, state and local officials 
concerned, the Commission determined that it was not possible to hold a 
meaningful public discussion on the date scheduled because 
Congressional delegations and community representatives had not been 
afforded adequate opportunity to analyze the data used by the 
Department of Defense (DoD) to formulate the base closure and 
realignment recommendations due to delays by DoD in releasing that data 
in an unclassified form. The Utah and Idaho Congressional delegations 
have been offered the opportunity to participate in the regional 
hearing currently scheduled in Portland, Oregon on June 17, 2005.
    The delay of this notice resulted from unanticipated delays by DoD 
in the release of the data used by DoD to formulate the base closure 
and realignment recommendations in an unclassified form and the short 
time-frame established by statute for the operations of the Defense 
Base Closure and Realignment Commission. The Commission requests that 
the public consult the 2005 Defense Base Closure and Realignment 
Commission Web site, http://www.brac.gov, for updates.

DATES: Not applicable.

ADDRESSES: Not applicable.
