Sec.  2.6  Transcripts and recordings.

    (a) The Commission Secretary shall maintain a complete transcript or 
electronic recording adequate to record fully the proceedings of each 
meeting, or portion of a meeting, closed to public observation. An 
electronic recording of a meeting shall be coded, or other records shall 
be kept in a manner adequate to identify each speaker.
    (b)(1) In the case of any meeting closed pursuant to 11 CFR 2.4(b), 
as the last item of business, the Commission will determine which, if 
any, portions of the electronic recording or transcript and which if 
any, items of information withheld under 11 CFR 2.5 contain information 
which should be withheld pursuant to 11 CFR 2.4.
    (2) Portions of transcripts or recordings determined to be outside 
the scope of any exemptions under 11 CFR 2.6(b)(1) shall be promptly 
made available to the public through the Commission's Public Records 
Office at a cost sufficient to cover the Commission's actual cost of 
duplication or transcription. Requests for such copies shall be made and 
processed in accordance with the provisions of 11 CFR part 5.
    (3) Portions of transcripts or electronic recordings not made 
available immediately pursuant to 11 CFR 2.6(b)(1), and portions of 
transcripts or recordings withheld pursuant to 11 CFR 2.4(a), will be 
made available on request when the relevant exemptions no longer apply. 
Such materials shall be requested and processed under the provisions of 
11 CFR 2.6(b)(2).
    (c) A complete verbatim copy of the transcript or a complete 
electronic recording of each meeting, or portion of a meeting, closed to 
the public, shall be maintained by the Commission Secretary in 
confidential files of the Commission, for a minimum of two years 
subsequent to such meeting, or a minimum of one year after the 
conclusion of any agency proceeding with respect to which the meeting, 
or portion of the meeting was held, whichever occurs later.
