------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.
