submit written statements to the 

membership of the Panel at any time or 

in response to the stated agenda of a 

planned meeting. Written statements 

should be submitted to the Panel’s DFO. 

The DFO’s contact information can be 

obtained from the General Services 

Administration’s Federal Advisory 

Committee Act Database at https:// 

www.fido.gov/facadatabase/public.asp. 

Written statements that do not pertain 

to the scheduled meeting of the Panel 

may be submitted at any time. However, 

if individual comments pertain to a 

specific topic being discussed at a 

planned meeting, then these statements 

must be submitted no later than 5 

business days prior to the meeting in 

question. The DFO will review all 

submitted written statements and 

provide copies to all the committee 

members. 

Public Comments: In addition to 

written statements, the Panel will set 

aside 1 hour for individuals or 

interested groups to address the Panel. 

To ensure consideration of their 

comments, individuals and interested 

groups should submit written 

statements as outlined in this notice; but 

if they still want to address the Panel, 

then they will be afforded the 

opportunity to register to address the 

Panel. The Panel’s DFO will have a 

‘‘Sign-Up Roster’’ available at the Panel 

meeting for registration on a first-come, 

first-serve basis. Those wishing to 

address the Panel will be given no more 

than 5 minutes to present their 

comments, and at the end of the 1 hour 

time period, no further public 

comments will be accepted. Anyone 

who signs-up to address the Panel, but 

is unable to do so due to the time 

limitation, may submit their comments 

in writing; however, they must 

understand that their written comments 

may not be reviewed prior to the Panel’s 

deliberation. 

To ensure timeliness of comments for 

the official record, the Panel encourages 

that individuals and interested groups 

consider submitting written statements 

instead of addressing the Panel.
