Agenda

Public Session

1. Welcome and introductions
2. Working group reports
3. Open business
4. Industry Presentations

Closed Session

    5. Discussion of matters determined to be exempt from the open 
meeting and public participation requirements found in Sections 
1009(a)(1) and 1009(a)(3) of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) 
(5 U.S.C. 1001-1014). 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 reports determines such meetings may be closed to the public 
in 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 disclose 
information the premature disclosure of which would be likely to 
significantly frustrate implementation of a proposed agency action. The 
closed session of the meeting will involve committee discussions and 
guidance regarding U.S. Government strategies and policies.
    The open session will be accessible via teleconference. To 
participate virtually, submit inquiries to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#b2e6f3f1f2d0dbc19cd6ddd19cd5ddc4"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="4f1b0e0c0f2d263c612b202c61282039">[email&#160;protected]</span></a>. 
Registration in advance is required to receive the meeting invite for 
virtual attendance. A limited number of seats will be available for 
members of the public to attend the open session in person on a first-
come basis. Reservations to attend in person are not accepted.
