Previous Notice

A previous notice was published in the Federal Register on July 24, 2009, which informed the public that CTAC and its subcommittees and working groups will meet at the U.S. Coast Guard Headquarters in August of this year, and provided agendas for those meetings (74 FR 36733). That notice complied with the requirement in 41 CFR 102-3.150 to inform the public of FACA meetings at least 15 calendar days in advance. Although the previous notice provided all other necessary information about the meetings described above, it inadvertently omitted the date and time of the CTAC meeting and this notice corrects that omission.

Dated: July 30, 2009.
