§ 102-3.125 Agency administrative guidelines to implement an advisory committee.

An agency's administrative guidelines provide the details that advisory committee staff need to implement FACA requirements during the creation, operation, and termination of their advisory committees. (a) Advisory committee operating procedures (also known as bylaws). Agency administrative guidelines should specify the content of advisory committee operating procedures to ensure they provide clear instructions on how to comply with the Act and the authority for the committee, including how to conduct advisory committee meetings and other committee activities. (b) Advisory committee costs. Agency administrative guidelines must: (1) Provide instructions on how to identify, calculate, and fully document advisory committee costs; and (2) Ensure agency committee cost records match the data reported through the FACA database.
