PART 14 PUBLIC HEARING BEFORE A PUBLIC ADVISORY COMMITTEE--Table of Contents
Subpart B Meeting Procedures
Sec. 14.20 Notice of hearing before an advisory committee.
(a) Before the first of each month, and at least 15 days in advance
of a meeting, the Commissioner will publish a notice in the Federal
Register of all advisory committee meetings to be held during the month.
Any advisory committee meetings for that month called after the
publication of the general monthly notice are to be announced in the
Federal Register on an individual basis at least 15 days in advance. The
Commissioner may authorize an exception to these notice requirements in
an emergency or for other reasons requiring an immediate meeting of an
advisory committee, in which case public notice will be given at the
earliest time and in the most accessible form feasible including,
whenever possible, publication in the Federal Register.
(b) The Federal Register notice will include--
(1) The name of the committee;
(2) The date, time, and place of the meeting;
(3) The general function of the committee;
(4) A list of all agenda items, showing whether each will be
discussed in an open or closed portion of the meeting;
(5) If any portion of the meeting is closed, a statement of the time
of the open and closed portions;
(6) The nature of the subjects to be discussed during, and the
reasons for closing, any closed portion of the meeting;
(7) The time set aside for oral statements and other public
participation;
(8) The name, address, and telephone number of the advisory
committee executive secretary and any other agency employee designated
as responsible for the administrative support for the advisory
committee;
(9) A statement that written submissions may be made to the advisory
committee through the executive secretary at any time, unless a cutoff
date has been established under Sec. 14.35(d)(2);
(10) When a notice is published in the Federal Register less than 15
days before a meeting, an explanation for the lateness of the notice;
and
(c) If a public hearing before an advisory committee is used in lieu
of a formal evidentiary public hearing under Sec. 14.1(a)(3), an
initial notice of hearing is to be published separately in the Federal
Register containing all the information described in Sec. 12.32(e).
This procedure may be used for any other hearing before an advisory
committee when the Commissioner concludes, as a matter of discretion,
that it would be informative to the public.
(d) A list of advisory committee meetings will be distributed to the
press by the Associate Commissioner for Public Affairs.
