SUMMARY: The Roadless Area Conservation National Advisory Committee

Service Leadership, institute administrative procedures and rules of 
order, and plan for future petition reviews.

DATES: The meeting will be held December 14th from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held at the Forest Service's Yates 
Building at 1400 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20250.

between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, Monday through

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:  The meeting is open to the public and 
interested parties are invited to attend; building security requires 
you to provide your name to the Committee Coordinator (contact 
information listed below) by December 2, 2005. You will need photo 
identification to enter the building. Because this first meeting is 
administrative, the Committee will not be addressing state petition 
submissions and, therefore, this meeting will not include public 
comment opportunities. Committee discussion is limited to Forest 
Service staff and Committee members. Future Committee meetings dealing 
with state petitions will afford public participation which will be 
outlined in future Federal Register notices. Committee documents, 
agendas, and minutes will be posted on the Forest Service's roadless 
Web site at http://www.roadless.fs.fed.us.

Associate Deputy Chief, National Foresty System.
