should be provided to the Designated Federal Official 30 minutes before 
the meeting. In addition, one electronic copy of each presentation 
should be e-mailed to the Designated Federal Official one day before

meeting. Electronic recordings will be permitted only during the open 
portions of the meeting. Persons desiring to make oral statements 
should notify the Cognizant ACRS staff named below five days before the 
meeting, if possible, so that appropriate arrangements can be made to 
allow necessary time during the meeting for such statements. Use of 
still, motion picture, and television cameras during the meeting may be 
limited to selected portions of the meeting as determined by the 
Chairman. Information regarding the time to be set aside for this

the Cognizant ACRS staff if such rescheduling would result in major 
inconvenience.

determined that it may be necessary to close a portion of this meeting 
noted above to discuss organizational and personnel matters that relate 
solely to internal personnel rules and practices of ACRS, and

invasion of personal privacy pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(2) and (6).
