    The National Capital Planning Commission is the central agency for
    conducting planningand developmentactivities for Federal landsand
    facilities in the National Capital region. The region includes the
    District of Columbia and all land areas within the boundaries of
    Montgomery and Prince Georges Counties in Maryland and Fairfax, Loudoun,
    Prince William, and Arlington Counties and the city of Alexandria in
    Virginia.

    The National Capital Planning Commission was established as a park
    planning agency by act of June 6, 1924, as amended (40 U.S.C. 71 et
    seq.). Two years later its role was expanded to include comprehensive
    planning. In 1952, under the National Capital Planning Act, the
    Commission was designated the central planning agency for the Federal
    and District of Columbia governments.
        In 1973, the National Capital Planning Act was amended by the
    District of Columbia Home Rule Act, which made the Mayor of the District
    of Columbia the chief planner for the District; however, the Commission
    continues to serve as the central planning agency for the Federal
    Government in the National Capital region.
        The Commission is composed of five appointed and seven ex officio
    members. Three citizen members, including the Chairman, are appointed by
    the President and two by the mayor of the District of Columbia.
    Presidential appointees include one resident each from Maryland and
    Virginia and one from anywhere in the United States; however, the two
    mayoral appointees must be District of Columbia residents.
