ACTION: Notice of meeting. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces the 

date and location of the public meeting 

being held prior to the 59th annual 

International Whaling Commission 

(IWC) meeting. 

DATES: The public meeting will be held 

April 5, 2007, at 1 p.m. 

ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held in

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Extension 183. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Secretary of Commerce is charged 

with the responsibility of discharging 

the domestic obligations of the United 

States under the International 

Convention for the Regulation of 

Whaling, 1946. The U.S. Commissioner 

has responsibility for the preparation 

and negotiation of U.S. positions on 

international issues concerning whaling 

and for all matters involving the IWC. 

He is staffed by the Department of 

Commerce and assisted by the 

Department of State, the Department of 

the Interior, Marine Mammal 

Commission, and by other agencies. 

Once the draft agenda for the annual 

IWC meeting is completed, it will be 

posted on the IWC Secretariat’s website 

at http://www.iwcoffice.org. 

Each year NOAA holds a meeting 

prior to the annual IWC meeting to 

discuss the tentative U.S. positions for 

the upcoming IWC meeting. Because the 

meeting discusses U.S. positions, the 

substance of the meeting must be kept 

confidential. Any U.S. citizen with an 

identifiable interest in U.S. whale 

conservation policy may participate, but 

NOAA reserves the authority to inquire 

about the interests of any person who 

appears at a meeting and to determine 

the appropriateness of that person’s 

participation. 

Persons who represent foreign 

interests may not attend. These stringent 

measures are necessary to protect the 

confidentiality of U.S. negotiating 

positions and are a necessary basis for 

the relatively open process of preparing 

for IWC meetings. 

The meeting will be held at 1 p.m. at 

the NOAA Science Center Room, 1301 

East West Highway, Silver Spring, MD 

20910. Photo identification is required 

to enter the building.
