or any other person designated by the General Counsel to carry out his responsibilities under this
part.
Meeting means the deliberations of at least two Commissioners, where such deliberations

meeting under this paragraph. The term does not include:

whether to open or close a meeting under this part;
(b) Business that is conducted by circulating written materials sequentially among the
Commissioners for their consideration on an individual basis;

Commissioners on the carrying out of a function that has been vested in the Chairman, by statute
or otherwise; or
(d) Informal discussions of the Commissioners that clarify issues and expose varying views but
do not effectively predetermine official actions.
Official Commission business means matters that are the responsibility of the Commission
acting as a collegial body, including the adjudication of litigated cases. The term does not
include matters that are the responsibility of the Commission's Chairman. See, e.g., 29 U.S.C.
661(e).
Regularly-scheduled meetings means meetings of the Commission that are held at 10:00 a.m. on
Thursday of each week, except on legal holidays. The term includes regularly-scheduled meetings
