          - [Public Notice 6637]

                    A Study Group on the 2005 Hague Convention on Choice of Court Agreements is being established under the Department of State Advisory                           ( print page 30661)                        Committee on Private International Law to consider issues relating to domestic implementation of the Convention. This is not a meeting of the full Advisory Committee.                

The United States signed the Convention on January 19, 2009. The State Department is considering submission of the Convention to the Senate for its advice and consent to ratification. It is expected that the Convention will be accompanied by federal implementing legislation. The Study Group will be invited to comment on the content of such legislation, on the question of whether federal implementing legislation might be supplemented by a uniform state law, and on the question of what declarations the United States might make in its instrument of ratification.

*Time and Place:*                     The public meeting of the Study Group will take place in Room 240, South Building, 2430 E St., NW., Washington, DC on July 27, 2009.
