PART 14 PUBLIC HEARING BEFORE A PUBLIC ADVISORY COMMITTEE--Table of Contents
Subpart B Meeting Procedures
Sec. 14.25 Portions of advisory committee meetings.
An advisory committee meeting has the following portions:
(a) The open public hearing. Every committee meeting includes an
open portion, which constitutes a public hearing during which interested
persons may present relevant information or views orally or in writing.
The hearing is conducted in accordance with Sec. 14.29.
(b) The open committee discussion. A committee discusses any matter
pending before it in an open portion of its meeting unless the meeting
has been closed for that matter under Sec. 14.27. To the maximum extent
feasible, consistent with the policy expressed in Sec. 14.27, a
committee conducts its discussion of pending matters in an open portion.
No public participation is permissible during this portion of the
meeting except with the consent of the committee chairman.
(c) The closed presentation of data. Information prohibited from
public disclosure under part 20 and the regulations referenced therein
is presented to the committee in a closed portion of its meeting.
However, if information is in the form of a summary that is not
prohibited from public disclosure, the presentation is to be made in an
open portion of a meeting.
(d) The closed committee deliberations. Deliberations about matters
before an advisory committee may be held in a closed portion of a
meeting only upon an appropriate determination by the Commissioner under
Sec. 14.27.
