the contact person for up-to-date information on this meeting. A
notice in the Federal Register about last minute modifications that

always be published quickly enough to provide timely notice.
Agenda: The committee will hear reports from its workgroups,
including the Meaningful Use Workgroup, the Certification/Adoption

made publicly available at the location of the advisory committee
meeting, and the background material will be posted on ONC's Web

between approximately 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. Time allotted for each
presentation is limited to three minutes. If the number of speakers
requesting to comment is greater than can be reasonably accommodated
during the scheduled open public hearing session, ONC will take
written comments after the meeting until close of business.
