Under the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act of 1972, (5 U.S.C. Appendix, as amended), the Government in the Sunshine Act of 1976 (5 U.S.C. 552b, as amended), and 41 CFR 102-3.50, the Department of Defense gives notice that it is renewing the charter for the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation Board of Visitors (hereafter referred to as the Board).

This final rule removes a DOT rule, Procedures for Reimbursement of General Aviation Operators and Service Providers in the Washington, DC Area, 14 CFR Part 331. This rule is being removed because all reimbursements under the program have been made and all program activities completed. The rule established procedures to reimburse eligible fixed-based general aviation operators and providers of ground support services, at five Washington, DC area airports, for direct and incremental financial losses incurred while the airports were closed to general aviation operations solely due to actions of the Federal government after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. The rule implemented a provision in the Department's Fiscal Year 2006 Appropriations Act, which made up to $17 million available for such reimbursements until expended. The rule required applications for reimbursement to be submitted by June 8, 2007. All applications have been processed, payments made, and required releases executed.

This notice is published in accordance with section 10(a)(2) of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (Pub. L. 92-463).

This meeting is open to the public. Any interested person may attend, appear before, or file statements with the Scientific Advisory Board at the time and in the manner permitted by the Board.
