Sec. 2203.7  Transcripts, recordings and minutes of closed meetings.

    (a) Record of meeting. The Commission will make a complete 
transcript or electronic recording adequate to record fully the 
proceedings of each meeting, or portion of a meeting, closed to the 
public. However, if all or part of a meeting is closed under paragraph 
(b)(8), (9)(i) or (10) of Sec. 2203.3, the Commission shall maintain 
either such a transcript or recording, or a set of minutes. Such minutes 
will fully and clearly describe all matters discussed and will provide a 
full and accurate summary of any actions taken, and the reasons for the 
actions. The minutes will also include a description of each of the 
views expressed on any item and a record of any roll call vote 
(reflecting the vote of each Commissioner on the question). In addition, 
the minutes will identify all documents considered in connection with 
any action.
    (b) Public access to records. The Commission will make promptly 
available to the public, at its national office, the transcript, 
electronic recording, or minutes of the discussion of any item on the 
agenda, or of any testimony of any witness received at the meeting, 
except for such item or items of such discussion or testimony as the 
Commission determines to contain information which may be withheld under 
Sec. 2203.3(b). Copies of the transcript, the minutes, or a 
transcription of the recording disclosing the identity of each speaker, 
with the deletions noted in the preceding sentence, will be furnished to 
any person at the actual cost of duplication or transcription. Requests 
to inspect or to have copies made of any transcript, electronic 
recording or set of minutes of any meeting, or any item(s) on the agenda 
of any meeting, should be made in writing to the General Counsel at the 
Office of the General Counsel, Occupational Safety and Health Review 
Commission, Room 941, One Lafayette Centre, 1120-20th Street NW., 
Washington, DC 20036-3419. The request should identify the time, date, 
and place of the meeting and briefly describe the items sought. The 
Commission will maintain a complete verbatim copy of the transcript, a 
complete copy of the minutes, or a complete electronic recording of each 
closed meeting, or closed portion of a meeting, for a period of at least 
two years after the meeting, or until one year after the conclusion of 
any Commission proceeding with respect to which all or part of the 
meeting was held, whichever occurs later.
