regarding the assessment and mitigation of security and operational
risks through whole-of-government coordination, and strong partnership
with the private sector that is required to conduct a large-scale
international sports event in the United States, the Secretary hereby
exempts the Commission from The Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5

Executive Director of the Task Force. The Commission's advice and
recommendations are to be specific, actionable, timely, strategic, and

The duties of the Commission are solely advisory in nature and
shall extend only to the submission of advice, recommendations, and
reports to the Task Force, through the Executive Director.

are appointed by the Executive Director to represent the vital sectors
of private industry who are engaged in showcasing the Nation's pride

from among the Commissioners.
The Commission Members serve for the duration of the Commission.

consideration by the Commission.
Commissioners will serve without additional compensation. Travel

authorized by law for persons serving intermittently in the Government

Force, the Designated Federal Officer may establish subcommittees for
any purpose consistent with the Charter. Subcommittees may be composed
