meeting on August 8, 2005 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Monterey 
Convention Center, 1 Portola Plaza, Monterey, California 93940. The

The installations concerned are listed in FR Doc. 05-14596, published 
in the Federal Register of July 22, 2005, on page 42311. The purpose of 
this regional meeting is to allow communities an opportunity to voice 
their concerns, counter-arguments, and opinions related to the proposed 
action in a live public forum. This meeting will be open to the public, 
subject to the availability of space. Sign language interpretation will 
be provided. The delegation will not render decisions regarding the DoD
