Notice of Meeting of the Cultural Property Advisory Committee

There will be a meeting of the Cultural Property Advisory Committee
September 30-October 2, 2015 at the U.S. Department of State, Annex 5,
2200 C Street NW., Washington, DC. Portions of this meeting will be
closed to the public, as discussed below.
During the closed portion of the meeting, the Committee will review
the proposal to extend the Memorandum of Understanding Between the
Government of United States of America and the Government of the
Republic of Colombia Concerning the Imposition of Import Restrictions
on Archaeological Materials from the Pre-Columbian Cultures and Certain
Ecclesiastical Material from the Colonial Period of Colombia
(``Colombia MOU'') [Docket No. DOS-2015-0040]. An open session to
receive oral public comment on the proposal to extend the Colombia MOU
will be held on Wednesday, September 30, 2015, beginning at 10:00 a.m.
EDT.

[[Page 51863]]

Also, during the closed portion of the meeting, the Committee will
conduct interim reviews of the Memorandum of Understanding Between the
Government of the United States of America and the Government of the
Republic of Guatemala Concerning the Imposition of Import Restrictions
on Archaeological Material from the Pre-Columbian Cultures and
Ecclesiastical Ethnological Material from the Conquest and Colonial
Periods of Guatemala and of the Memorandum of Understanding Between the
Government of the United States of America and the Government of the
Republic of Cyprus Concerning the Imposition of Import Restrictions on
Pre-Classical and Classical Archaeological Objects and Byzantine and
Post-Byzantine Period Ecclesiastical and Ritual Ethnological Materials.
Public comment, oral and written, will be invited at a time in the
future should either MOU be proposed for extension.
The Committee's responsibilities are carried out in accordance with
provisions of the Convention on Cultural Property Implementation Act
(19 U.S.C. 2601 et seq.; ``Act''). The text of the Act and MOUs, as
well as related information, may be found at http://culturalheritage.state.gov. If you wish to attend the open session on
September 30, 2015, you should notify the Cultural Heritage Center of
the Department of State at (202) 632-6301 no later than 5:00 p.m. (EDT)
September 11, 2015, to arrange for admission. Seating is limited. When
calling, please specify if you need reasonable accommodation. The open
session will be held at 2200 C St. NW., Edward R. Murrow Conference
Room, Washington, DC 20037. Please plan to arrive 30 minutes before the
beginning of the open session.
If you wish to make an oral presentation at the open session, you
must request to be scheduled by the above-mentioned date and time, and
you must submit written comments, ensuring that they are received no
later than September 11 at 11:59 p.m. (EDT), via the eRulemaking Portal
(see below), to allow time for distribution to committee members prior
to the meeting. Oral comments will be limited to five (5) minutes to
allow time for questions from members of the Committee. All oral and
written comments must relate specifically to the determinations under
19 U.S.C. 2602, pursuant to which the Committee must make findings.
If you do not wish to make oral comment but still wish to make your
views known, you may send written comments for the Committee to
consider. Your comments should relate specifically to the
determinations under 19 U.S.C. 2602. Submit all written materials
electronically through the eRulemaking Portal (see below), ensuring
that they are received no later than September 11, 2015 at 11:59 p.m.
(EDT). Our adoption of this procedure facilitates public participation;
implements section 206 of the E-Government Act of 2002, Public Law 107-
347, 116 Stat. 2915; and supports the Department of State's ``Greening
Diplomacy'' initiative that aims to reduce the State Department's
environmental footprint and reduce costs.
Please submit comments only once using one of these methods:
Electronic Delivery. To submit comments electronically, go
to the Federal eRulemaking Portal (http://www.regulations.gov), enter
the Docket No. DOS-2015-0040, and follow the prompts to submit a
comment. Comments submitted in electronic form are not private. They
will be posted on the site http://www.regulations.gov. Because the
comments cannot be edited to remove any identifying or contact
information, the Department of State cautions against including any
information in an electronic submission that one does not want publicly
disclosed (including trade secrets and commercial or financial
information that is privileged or confidential pursuant to 19 U.S.C.
2605(i)(1)).
Regular Mail or Delivery. If you wish to submit
information that you believe to be privileged or confidential pursuant
to 19 U.S.C. 2605(i)(1), you may do so via regular mail, commercial
delivery, or personal hand delivery to the following address: Cultural
Heritage Center (ECA/P/C), SA-5, Floor C2, U.S. Department of State,
Washington, DC 20522-05C2. Only comments that you believe to be
privileged or confidential will be accepted via those methods. Comments
must be received by September 11, 2015.
Comments submitted by fax or email are not accepted. All comments
submitted electronically must be submitted via the eRulemaking Portal
only. All comments submitted electronically will be viewable by the
public, so do not include any information that you consider privileged
or confidential.
The Department of State requests that any party soliciting or
aggregating comments received from other persons for submission to the
Department of State inform those persons that the Department of State
will not edit their comments to remove any identifying or contact
information, and that they therefore should not include any information
in their comments that they do not want publicly disclosed.
As noted above, portions of the meeting will be closed pursuant to
5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(9)(B) and 19 U.S.C. 2605(h), the latter of which
stipulates that ``The provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act
shall apply to the Cultural Property Advisory Committee except that the
requirements of subsections (a) and (b) of sections 10 and 11 of such
Act (relating to open meetings, public notice, public participation,
and public availability of documents) shall not apply to the Committee,
whenever and to the extent it is determined by the President or his
designee that the disclosure of matters involved in the Committee's
proceedings would compromise the government's negotiating objectives or
bargaining positions on the negotiations of any agreement authorized by
this chapter''. Pursuant to law, Executive Order, and Delegation of
Authority, I have made such a determination.
Personal information regarding attendees is requested pursuant to
Public Law 99-399 (Omnibus Diplomatic Security and Antiterrorism Act of
1986), as amended; Pub. L. 107-56 (USA PATRIOT Act); and E.O. 13356.
The purpose of the collection is to validate the identity of
individuals who enter Department facilities. The data will be entered
into the Visitor Access Control System (VACS-D) database. Please see
the Security Records System of Records Notice (State-36) at http://www.state.gov/documents/organization/103419.pdf for additional
information. For further information, contact Isabella Strohmeyer,
