ACTION: Notice of open subcommittee meetings. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The Department of the Army is publishing this notice to announce the following Federal advisory subcommittee meetings of the Honor subcommittee and the Remember and Explore subcommittee of the Advisory Committee on Arlington National Cemetery (ACANC). These meetings are open to the public. For more information about the Committee and the Subcommittees, please visit: http://www.arlingtoncemetery.mil/About/Advisory-Committee-on-Arlington-National-Cemetery/ACANC-Meetings. DATES: The Honor subcommittee will meet on Tuesday, November 7, 2017 from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. The Remember and Explore subcommittee will meet on Wednesday, November 8, 2017 from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. ADDRESSES: The Honor Subcommittee and the Remember & Explore subcommittees will meet in the Welcome Center Conference Room, Arlington National Cemetery, Arlington, VA 22211. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Timothy Keating; Alternate Designated Federal Officer for the subcommittees, in writing at Arlington National Cemetery, Arlington, VA 22211, or by email at timothy.p.keating.civ@mail.mil, or by phone at 1-877-907-8585. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: These subcommittee meetings are being held under the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act of 1972 (5 U.S.C., Appendix, as amended), the Sunshine in the Government Act of 1976 (U.S.C. 552b, as amended) and 41 Code of the Federal Regulations (CFR 102-3.150). Purpose of the Meetings: The Advisory Committee on Arlington National Cemetery is an independent Federal advisory committee chartered to provide the Secretary of the Army independent advice and recommendations on Arlington National Cemetery, including, but not limited to, cemetery administration, the erection of memorials at the cemetery, and master planning for the cemetery. The Secretary of the Army may act on the committee's advice and recommendations. The primary purpose of the Honor subcommittee is to accomplish an independent assessment of methods to address the long-term future of the Army national cemeteries, including how best to extend the active burials and what ANC should focus on once all available space is used. The primary purpose of the Remember & Explore Subcommittee is to recommend methods to maintain the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier Monument, including the cracks in the large marble sarcophagus, the adjacent marble slabs, and the potential replacement marble stone for the sarcophagus already gifted to the Army; accomplish an independent assessment of requests to place commemorative monuments; and identify means to capture and convey ANC's history, including Section 60 gravesite mementos, and improve the quality of visitors' experiences now and for generations to come. Agenda: The Honor subcommittee will receive an update concerning the national dialogue and public survey in response to Public Law 114- 158; an update to the renovation plans for the ANC Administrative building; and a presentation regarding timelines involved with Full Military Honor Funerals at ANC. The Remember and Explore subcommittee will receive a presentation on how ``Smart City'' technology developments might be used to enhance the visitor experience at ANC; an update to the horticultural plan [[Page 48805]] supporting the iconic image of ANC; and a briefing on the status of all commemorative monuments within and proposed for erection at the cemetery.
