Notice of Closed Meeting of the Cultural Property Advisory 
Committee

    There will be a closed meeting of the Cultural Property Advisory 
Committee on Tuesday, February 2 and Wednesday, February 3, 2016, at 
the Department of State, Annex 5, 2200 C Street NW., Washington, DC.
    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 Kingdom of Cambodia Concerning the Imposition 
of Import Restrictions on Archaeological Material from Cambodia from 
the Bronze Age through the Khmer Era, and the Memorandum of 
Understanding Between the Government of the United States of America 
and the Government of Belize Concerning the Imposition of Import 
Restrictions on Categories of Archaeological Material Representing the 
Cultural Heritage of Belize from the Pre-Ceramic (Approximately 9000 
B.C.), Pre-Classic, Classic, and Post-Classic Periods of the Pre-
Columbian Era Through the Early and Late Colonial Periods. Public 
comment, oral and written, will be invited at a time in the future 
should either or both of these Memoranda of Understanding 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.). The text of the Act and Memoranda of 
Understanding, as well as related information, may be found at http://culturalheritage.state.gov.
    This 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 section 10 and section 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 negotiation 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.

    Dated: January 4, 2016.
Evan Ryan,
Assistant Secretary, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, U.S.
