Washington, DC (enter through Main Entrance on 14th Street between

and public participation requirements found in sections 1009(a)(1) and

1014). The exemption is authorized by section 1009(d) of the FACA, 
which permits the closure of advisory committee meetings, or portions 
thereof, if the head of the agency to which the advisory committee

accordance with subsection (c) of the Government in the Sunshine Act (5 
U.S.C. 552b(c)). In this case, the applicable provisions of 5 U.S.C. 
552b(c) are subsection 552b(c)(4), which permits closure to protect 
trade secrets and commercial or financial information that is 
privileged or confidential, and subsection 552b(c)(9)(B), which permits 
closure to protect information that would be likely to significantly 
frustrate implementation of a proposed agency action were it to be
