Sec. 7.9  Public notice of advisory committee establishment, reestablishment, or renewal.

    (a) After the Commission has received the GSA Secretariat's response 
to a request (in accordance with Sec. 7.5) for review of a proposal to 
establish, reestablish, renew, or utilize an NRC advisory committee, the 
Commission shall publish a notice in the Federal Register that the 
committee is being established, reestablished, renewed, or utilized. In 
the case of a new committee, the notice shall also describe the nature 
and purpose of the committee and shall include a statement that the 
committee is necessary and in the public interest. This notice 
requirement does not apply to any committee whose establishment is 
required by statute or which is established by Executive Order of the 
President.
    (b) Notices required to be published pursuant to paragraph (a) of 
this section shall be published at least 15 calendar days before the 
committee charter is filed pursuant to Sec. 7.8, except that the GSA 
Secretariat may approve less than 15 days for good cause shown. The 15-
day advance notice requirement does not apply to committee renewals, 
notices of which may be published concurrently with the filing of the 
charter.
