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, November 14, 2005. 

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 January 

1, 2006. 

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, Michael McDonald, 1100 

Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., 

Washington, DC 20506, or call 202/606–

L. 92–463, as amended) notice is hereby 

given the National Council on the 

Humanities will meet in Washington, 

DC on November 17–18, 2005. 

The purpose of the meeting is to 

advise the Chairman of the National

not be open to the public pursuant to 

subsections (c)(4), (c)(6) and (c)(9)(B) of 

section 552b of Title 5, United States 

Code because the Council will consider 

information that may disclose: Trade 

secrets and commercial or financial 

information obtained from a person and 

privileged or confidential; information 

of a personal nature the disclosure of 

which would constitute a clearly 

unwarranted invasion of personal 

privacy; and information the premature 

disclosure of which would be likely to 

significantly frustrate implementation of 

proposed agency action. I have made 

this determination under the authority
