Sec.  1013.3  Announcement of Commission meetings and changes after 
announcement.

    (a) The Secretary of the Commission is responsible for preparing and 
making public the announcements and notices relating to Commission 
meetings that are required in this part.
    (b) The Agency shall announce each Commission meeting in the Public 
Calendar or Master Calendar at least one week (seven calendar days) 
before the meeting. The Agency shall concurrently submit the 
announcement for publication in the Federal Register. The announcement 
and the Federal Register notice shall contain the following information:
    (1) The date, time, and place of the meeting;
    (2) The subject matter of the meeting;
    (3) Whether the meeting will be open or closed to the public;
    (4) The name and phone number of the official who responds to 
requests for information about the meeting.
    (c) If a majority of the Commission determines by recorded vote that 
Agency business requires calling a meeting without seven calendar days 
advance public notice, the Office of the Secretary shall announce this 
determination in the Public Calendar or Master Calendar at the earliest 
practicable time and shall concurrently transmit the announcement for 
publication in the Federal Register.
    (d) When necessary and at the direction of the Chairman, the 
Secretary shall change the time of a Commission meeting after the 
announcement in the Public Calendar or Master Calendar. Any such change 
shall be entered on the Master Calendar and such other notice shall be 
given as is practicable.
    (e) After announcement of a Commission meeting in the Public 
Calendar or Master Calendar, the Commission may change the subject 
matter of a Commission meeting or the decision to open or close a 
Commission meeting or portion thereof to the public, only if a majority 
of the Commission determines by recorded vote that Agency business so 
requires, and only if a majority of the Commission determines by 
recorded vote that no earlier announcement of the change was possible. 
The Commission shall announce the change in the Public Calendar or 
Master Calendar at the earliest practicable time before the meeting and 
shall concurrently transmit the announcement for publication in the 
Federal Register. Announcement of the change shall include the vote of 
each Commissioner upon the change. (See also Sec.  1013.4(d) for 
requirements for Commission reconsideration of a decision to open or 
close a meeting to the public.)
