initiated a rulemaking to consider revisions to 45 CFR Part 1606, 
Termination and Debarment Procedures; Recompetition, and 45 CFR Part 
1623, Suspension. As part of this rulemaking proceeding, LSC is

on the 3rd floor of 3333 K St., NW., Washington, DC 20007.
    Under the LSC Rulemaking Protocol:

    Rulemaking Workshops [enable LSC staff to meet with 
stakeholders] to discuss, but not negotiate, LSC rules and 
regulations. * * * The Workshop will be a meeting at which the 
participants hold open discussions designed to elicit information 
about problems or concerns with the regulation (or certain aspects 
thereof) and provide an opportunity for sharing ideas regarding how 
to address those issues. The Workshop is not intended [to] develop 
detailed alternatives or to obtain consensus on regulatory 
proposals.

67 FR 69762, 69763 (November 19, 2002).

    With this notice, LSC is inviting expressions of interest from the 
interested stakeholder community to participate in the Rulemaking 
Workshop. Expressions of interest should be forwarded in writing to 
Victor M. Fortuno, Vice President & General Counsel, Legal Services 
Corporation, via e-mail to [email protected] or via fax to 202-337-6831. 
Such expressions of interest may be alternatively by sent via hard copy

expressed interest of whether or not they have been selected.
    The Workshops will be open to public observation but only persons 
selected will be allowed to participate. Participants are expected to 
cover their own expenses (travel, lodging, etc.). LSC may consider 
providing financial assistance to participants for whom travel costs 
would represent a significant hardship and barrier to participation. 
Any such person should so note in his/her expression of interest for 
LSC's consideration.

Victor M. Fortuno,
Vice President & General Counsel.
