U.S. Department of State Advisory Committee on Private 
International Law (ACPIL): Public Meeting on Family Law

    The Office of the Assistant Legal Adviser for Private International 
Law, Department of State, gives notice of a public meeting to discuss a 
questionnaire prepared by the Permanent Bureau of the Hague Conference 
on Private International Law (``Hague Conference'') on the topic of 
international parentage and surrogacy. The public meeting will take 
place on Tuesday, September 13, 2016 from 1 p.m. until 5 p.m. EDT. This 
is not a meeting of the full Advisory Committee.
    In March 2015, the Council on General Affairs and Policy 
(``Council'') of the Hague Conference decided that an Experts' Group 
should be convened to explore the feasibility of advancing work on 
private international law issues surrounding the status of children, 
including issues arising from international surrogacy arrangements. In 
preparation for the second meeting of the Experts' Group, the Permanent 
Bureau has circulated a questionnaire seeking ideas and views from 
members of the Experts' Group.
    The purpose of the public meeting is to obtain the views of 
concerned stakeholders on the questions presented in the questionnaire. 
A copy of the questions to be discussed will be provided to individuals 
who will be participating in the public meeting. Those who cannot 
attend but wish to comment are welcome to do so by email to Michael 
Coffee at [email protected].
    Time and Place: The meeting will take place from 1 p.m. until 5 
p.m. EDT in Room 10.00, State Department Annex 17, 600 19th Street NW., 
Washington, DC 20522. Participants should plan to arrive at the North 
Entrance by 12:40 p.m. for visitor screening. If you are unable to 
attend the public meeting and would like to participate from a remote 
location, teleconferencing will be available.
    Public Participation: This meeting is open to the public, subject 
to the capacity of the meeting room. Access to the building is strictly 
controlled. For pre-clearance purposes, those planning to attend should 
email [email protected] providing full name, address, date of birth, 
citizenship, driver's license or passport number, and email address. 
This information will greatly facilitate entry into the building. A 
member of the public needing reasonable accommodation should email 
[email protected] not later than September 6, 2016. Requests made after 
that date will be considered, but might not be able to be fulfilled.
    If you would like to participate by telephone, please email 
[email protected] to obtain the call-in number and other information. We 
ask that each person who intends to participate by telephone notify us 
directly so that we may ensure that we have adequate dial-in capacity.
    Data from the public is requested pursuant to Public Law 99-399 
(Omnibus Diplomatic Security and Antiterrorism Act of 1986), as 
amended; Public Law 107-56 (USA PATRIOT Act); and Executive Order 
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 https://foia.state.gov/_docs/SORN/State-36.pdf for
