Death Valley National Park Advisory Commission

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Meeting notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice sets forth the date of the June 25, 2002 meeting 
of the Death Valley National Park Advisory Commission.

DATES: The public meeting will be held on June 25, 2002 from 9 a.m. to 
4:30 p.m.

ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held at the Death Valley National Park 
Visitor Center Auditorium, Highway 190, Death Valley, California.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: James T. Reynolds, Death Valley 
National Park, PO Box 579, Death Valley, California, 92328.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The meeting will be open to the public. Any 
member of the public may file with the Commission a written statement 
concerning agenda items. The statement should be addressed to the Death 
Valley National Park Advisory Commission, PO Box 579, Death Valley, 
California, 92328. Due to mis-routing of U.S. mail, the notice could 
not be published at least 15 days prior to the meeting date. The 
National Park Service regrets this error but is compelled to hold the 
meeting as scheduled because of the significant sacrifice re-scheduling 
could require of committee members who have adjusted their schedules to 
accommodate the meeting date. Since the meeting date has received 
widespread publicity in area news media and among the parties most 
affected, the National Park Service believes that the public interest 
will not be adversely affected by the less-than-15-days advance notice 
in the Federal Register.
    Agenda: The June 25, 2002 meeting will consist of handing out the 
final General Management Plan for Death Valley National Park; 
Operational Updates on Park Activities which include the Furnace Creek 
Environmental Impact Statement and related water issues; the pending 
acquisition of Barrick Mines Inc. Administrative Site; briefing on the 
California Desert Park Foundation; Fee Demonstration project update; 
Natural History Association update; Timbisha Shoshone Tribe update; and 
a Citizens Open Forum where the public can make comments and ask 
questions on any park activity.

    Dated: June 10, 2002.
Fran P. Mainella,
Director.
