Code of Federal Regulations Title 22. Foreign Relations § 22.214.33 Notice of meetings

(a) Notice of each advisory committee meeting (whether the meeting is open or closed) shall be published in the Federal Register at least fifteen (15) days before the date of the meeting, and should also be provided through other means such as newspaper advertisements, press releases, and direct mail.

(b) Notices include the name of the advisory committee;  the time of the meeting;  the purposes of the meeting;  a statement regarding the extent to which the public will be permitted to attend and, if any portion is closed, why such closure or partial closure is necessary, including citation of the appropriate exemption permitted under subsection (c) of 5 U.S.C. 552b. Thus, A.I.D. Notices of Advisory Committee meetings normally state that the meeting is open to the public and include the place of the meeting;  and instructions for gaining access to open meetings which are held in a “secured” building.

(c) Both formal and informal notices are prepared by the A.I.D. Advisory Committee Representative;  formal notices to be published in the Federal Register are cleared with the Advisory Committee Management Officer and are sent to the Office of the General Counsel at least thirty-two (32) days before the scheduled meeting date.

(d) Copies of all public notices are provided to the Advisory Committee Management Officer.
