Notice of Meeting of the Cultural Property Advisory Committee

    The Cultural Property Advisory Committee will meet on Tuesday, 
October 12, 1999, from approximately 8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and on 
Wednesday, October 13, from approximately 8:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. at 
the United States Information Agency building (after October 1, 1999, 
renamed Department of State, Annex 44), Room 840, 301 4th St., S.W., 
Washington, D.C., to review a request from the Government of the 
Republic of Italy to the Government of the United States seeking import 
restrictions on archaeological materials. A portion of the meeting, 
from approximately 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. on October 12, will be open 
to interested parties wishing to provide comment on this request. The 
request, submitted under Article 9 of the 1970 Convention on the Means 
of Prohibiting and Preventing the Illicit Import, Export and Transfer 
of Ownership on Cultural Property, will be considered in accordance 
with the provisions of the Convention on Cultural Property 
Implementation Act (19 U.S.C. 2601 et seq.). Since review of this 
matter by the Committee will involve information the premature 
disclosure of which would be likely to significantly frustrate 
implementation of proposed action, the meeting from approximately 8:30 
a.m. to 12 noon, and from approximately 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. on 
October 12, and from approximately 8:30 a.m. to approximately 11:00 
a.m. on October 13, will be closed pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(9)(B) 
to 19 U.S.C. 2605(h). Persons wishing to attend the open portion of the 
meeting on October 12, approximately 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m., must call 
the cultural property office at (202) 619-6612 no later than 5:00 p.m. 
(EDT) Thursday, October 7, 1999, to arrange for admission. Written 
comments may be sent to Cultural Property, USIA, 301 4th Street, S.W., 
Rm. 247, Washington, D.C. 20547. Information about U.S. implementation
