Coordinating Committee for Earthquake Prediction

The Coordinating Committee for Earthquake Prediction (CCEP) (Japanese: 地震予知連絡会, Jishin Yochi Renraku-kai) in Japan was founded in April 1969, as part of the Geodesy Council's Second Earthquake Prediction Plan, in order to carry out a comprehensive evaluation of earthquake data in Japan. The committee consists of 30 members and meets four times each year, as well as publishing a report on its activities twice each year. The CCEP brings together representatives from 20 governmental bodies and universities engaged in earthquake prediction and research. It has a secretariat within the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism.
