    The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) gives notice under the 
Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C., App. 2, that the Advisory 
Committee on Cemeteries and Memorials will meet May 9-10, 2017, at 1100 
First Street NE., Conference Room 104, Washington, DC 20002. On May 9th 
and May 10th, the meeting will begin each day at 8:30 a.m. and conclude 
at approximately 5:00 p.m. The meeting is open to the public.
    The purpose of the Committee is to advise the Secretary of Veterans 
Affairs on the administration of national cemeteries, soldiers' lots 
and plots, the selection of new national cemetery sites, the erection 
of appropriate memorials, and the adequacy of Federal burial benefits.
    On May 9, 2017, the Committee will receive Ethics training and 
updates on National Cemetery Administration issues. On May 10, 2017, 
the Committee will discuss prior recommendations and new charges from 
the Interim Under Secretary for Memorial Affairs. The Committee will 
also discuss future meeting sites and potential agenda topics at future 
meetings.
    Time will be allocated for receiving oral presentations from the 
public each day. Any member of the public wishing to attend the meeting 
should contact Ms. Christine Hamilton, Designated Federal Officer, at 
(202) 461-5680. The Committee will also accept written comments. 
Comments may be transmitted electronically to the Committee at 
[email protected] or mailed to the National Cemetery 
Administration (40A1), 810 Vermont Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20420. In 
the public's communications with the Committee, the writers must 
identify themselves and state the organizations, associations, or 
persons they represent.
    Because the meeting is being held in a government building, a photo 
I.D. must be presented at the security desk as part of the clearance 
process. Due to an increase in security protocols, and in order to 
prevent delays in clearance processing, you should allow an additional 
15 minutes before the meeting begins.

    Dated: April 17, 2017.
Jelessa M. Burney,
Federal Advisory Committee Management Officer.
