Humanities Arts and Artifacts 

Indemnity Panel Advisory Committee 

AGENCY: The National Endowment for 

the Humanities. 

ACTION: Notice of meeting. 

Pursuant to the provisions of the 

Federal Advisory Committee Act (Pub. 

L. 92–463 as amended) notice is hereby 

given that a meeting of the Arts and 

Artifacts Indemnity Panel of the Federal 

Council on the Arts and the Humanities 

will be held at 1100 Pennsylvania 

Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20506, in 

Room 730, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., on 

Monday, February 6, 2012. 

The purpose of the meeting is to 

review applications for Certificates of 

Indemnity submitted to the Federal 

Council on the Arts and the Humanities 

for exhibitions beginning after April 1, 

2012. 

Because the proposed meeting will 

consider financial and commercial data 

and because it is important to keep 

values of objects, methods of 

transportation and security measures 

confidential, pursuant to the authority 

granted me by the Chairman’s 

Delegation of Authority to Close 

Advisory Committee Meetings, dated 

July 19, 1993, I have determined that the 

meeting would fall within exemption (4) 

of 5 U.S.C. 552(b) and that it is essential 

to close the meeting to protect the free 

exchange of views and to avoid 

interference with the operations of the 

Committee. 

It is suggested that those desiring 

more specific information contact 

Advisory Committee Management 

Officer, Lisette Voyatzis, 1100 

Pennsylvania Avenue NW., Washington, 

DC 20506, or call (202) 606–8322.
