meeting on August 4, 2005 from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. at Senate Hart Hearing 
Room 216, Constitution Avenue, Washington, DC 20510. The delay of this 
change notice resulted from the short time-frame established by statute 
for the operations of the Defense Base Closure and Realignment

were not recommended by the Department of Defense (DoD). 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 
recommendations at this meeting, but will gather information for later 
deliberations by the Commission as a whole.
