2009 Public Meetings
The Advisory Board must adhere to the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA). FACA ensures that advice rendered by the Advisory Board be both objective and accessible to the public. In addition, FACA requires that notices for committee meetings are published with adequate advance notice in the Federal Register. The Advisory Board has established both subcommittees and work groups. While FACA does not require a notice to be published in the Federal Register for work group meetings, we will make every attempt to provide advanced notice of work group meetings held by the Advisory Board.
NOTE: Transcripts posted to the Web site after December 12, 2007, will be posted in accordance with the following policy:
Policy on Redaction of Board Meeting Transcripts
(Public Comment)
- If a person making a comment gives his or her name, no attempt will be made to redact that
name.
- NIOSH will take reasonable steps to ensure that individuals making public comment are
aware of the fact that their comments (including their name, if provided) will appear in a transcript of the meeting posted on a public Web site. Such reasonable steps include:
- A statement read at the start of each public comment period stating that transcripts
will be posted and names of speakers will not be redacted;
- A printed copy of the statement mentioned in (a) above will be displayed on the table
where individuals sign up to make public comment;
- A statement such as outlined in (a) above will also appears with the agenda for a
Board Meeting when it is posted on the NIOSH Web site;
- A statement such as in (a) above will appear in the Federal Register Notice that
announces Board and Subcommittee meetings.
- If an individual in making a statement reveals personal
information (e.g., medical information) about
themselves that information will not usually
be redacted. The NIOSH FOIA coordinator will,
however, review such revelations in accordance
with the Freedom of Information Act and the
Federal Advisory Committee Act and if deemed
appropriate, will redact such information.
- All disclosures of information concerning third parties will be redacted.
- If it comes to the attention of the Designated Federal Official (DFO) that an individual wishes
to share information with the Board but objects to doing so in a public forum, the DFO will work with that individual, in accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act, to find a way that the Board can hear such comments.
