extraordinary circumstances resulting from the lapse in Federal 
appropriations in October 2013 and the resulting postponement of the EM 
SSAB Chairs' meeting, which originally was scheduled for October 16-17, 
2013. Rescheduling for the dates of November 5-6, 2013, is necessary in 
order to accommodate participation by senior management and to avoid 
conflicts with the scheduled committee meetings of this federal 
advisory board. The EM SSAB Chairs have not had a face-to-face meeting 
in over a year, and these meetings constitute the full board meetings 
of the EM SSAB, fulfilling Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) 
requirements. Arrangements and meeting costs agreed upon for the 
postponed meeting will be extended by the vendors if the meeting is 
held within this timeframe. A later date at this Ohio venue is 
inadvisable due to inclement weather concerns.
    Minutes: Minutes will be available by writing or calling Catherine 
Alexander at the address or phone number listed above. Minutes will 
also be available at the following Web site: http://www.em.doe.gov/stakepages/ssabchairs.aspx.

    Issued at Washington, DC on October 24, 2013.
LaTanya R. Butler,
Deputy Committee Management Officer.
