Full text
(a) To close all or part of an advisory committee meeting, the DFO must submit a request to the agency head, or in the case of an independent Presidential advisory committee, the Secretariat, citing the specific exemption(s) of the Government in the Sunshine Act, 5 U.S.C. 552b(c), that justifies the closure. The request must provide the agency head or the Secretariat sufficient time to review the matter in order to make a determination before publication of the meeting notice required by § 102-3.150.
(b) If the agency head, or in the case of an independent Presidential advisory committee, the Secretariat, finds that the request is consistent with the provisions of the Government in the Sunshine Act and FACA, the appropriate agency official must issue a determination that all or part of the meeting will be closed. The agency head or the chairperson of an independent Presidential advisory committee must make a copy of any such determination available to the public upon request.
