67 FR 69762, 69763 (November 19, 2002).
With this notice, LSC is inviting expressions of interest from the interested stakeholder community to participate in the Rulemaking Workshop. Expressions of interest should be forwarded in writing to Victor M. Fortuno, Vice President General Counsel, Legal Services Corporation, via e-mail to vfortuno@lsc.gov or via fax to 202-337-6831.
