Meeting of the Compact Council for the National Crime Prevention 
and Privacy Compact

AGENCY: Federal Bureau of Investigation, Department of Justice.

ACTION: Meeting notice.

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

SUMMARY: The purpose of this notice is to announce the first meeting of 
the Compact Council created by the National Crime Prevention and 
Privacy Compact Act of 1998 (Compact). Thus far, the federal government 
and four states are parties to the Compact which governs the exchange 
of criminal history records for licensing, employment, and similar 
purposes. The Compact also provides a legal framework for the 
establishment of a cooperative Federal-state system to exchange such 
records.
    The United States Attorney General will appoint fifteen persons 
from federal and state agencies to serve on the Compact Council. The 
Council will prescribe system rules and procedures for the effective 
and proper operation of the system.
    Since this is the Compact Council's first meeting, the FBI will 
call the members to order for an organizational meeting to adopt bylaws 
and elect a chairman, followed by the regular meeting. Matters for 
discussion are expected to include the mission and responsibilities the 
Compact requires of the Council, compact officers, and the states; how 
committees will be used to accomplish council business; state 
qualification requirements for the National Fingerprint File; Violence 
Against Children Act; and procedures for adjudicating disputes.
    The meeting will be open to the public on a first-come, first-
seated basis. Any member of the public wishing to file a written 
statement with the Compact Council or wishing to address this session 
of the Compact Council should notify Mr. Emmet A. Rathbun at (304) 625-
2720, at least 24 hours prior to the start of the session. The 
notification should contain the requestor's name and corporate 
designation, consumer affiliation, or government designation, along 
with a short statement describing the topic to be addressed, and the 
time needed for the presentation. Requestors will ordinarily be allowed 
not more than 15 minutes to present a topic.

DATES AND TIMES: The Compact Council will meet in open session from 9 
a.m. until 5 p.m. on November 17, 1999, and from 9 a.m. until noon on 
November 18, 1999.
