8258 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 36 / Monday, February 24, 1997 / Notices

this case, HUD has found it necessary to

provide less than 15 days advance

notice due to the difficulty of

identifying appropriate meeting

facilities on the dates that the negotiated

rulemaking process could commence.

Additionally, given the statutory

deadline for the final rule that will

result from this negotiated rulemaking

process, there is a need to begin the

negotiated rulemaking process as

quickly as possible.

HUD anticipates that it will be able to

provide 15 days notice for future

Committee meetings.

Dated: February 19, 1997.

Kevin Emanuel Marchman,

Acting Assistant Secretary for Public and

Indian Housing.
