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

    (a) After the Commission has received notice from the Committee 
Management Secretariat that its review of a proposal to establish, 
reestablish, renew, or utilize an NRC discretionary advisory committee 
has been completed, 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.
    (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 
Committee Management Secretariat may approve publication for less than 
15 days for good cause shown. The 15-day advance notice requirement does 
not apply to advisory committee renewals, notices of which may be 
published concurrently with the filing of the charter.
