A notice to the public in the Federal Register is required when a discretionary advisory committee is established, renewed, reestablished, or merged.
(a) Procedure. Upon receipt of the written public interest determination approved by the head of the agency and information required in accordance with § 102-3.60(a), the Secretariat may provide an assessment to the agency (with a copy to OMB) as to its views on whether establishment of the advisory committee is in the public interest. Following receipt of this assessment or notification from the Secretariat that no such assessment will be produced, the agency must publish a notice in the Federal Register announcing that the advisory committee is being established, renewed, reestablished, or merged. The notice must include the written public interest determination approved by the head of the agency described in § 102-3.60(a) and any assessment provided by the Secretariat.
(b) Time required for notices. The required notices for establishment, renewal, reestablishment, or merger must appear at least 7 calendar days before the charter is filed, except that the Secretariat may approve less than 7 calendar days when requested by the agency in exceptional circumstances.
