    Exceptional Circumstance: Pursuant to 41 CFR 102-3.150, the notice 
for this meeting is given less than 15 calendar days prior to the 
meeting because of the exceptional circumstance that this project will 
inform the Commission's FY2018 statutory enforcement report on voting 
rights and is therefore under a very tight timeline.

    Dated: October 31, 2017.

Supervisory Chief, Regional Programs Unit.
