    The Secretary shall ensure that all open Commission meetings are 
held in a location such that there is reasonable space and adequate 
visibility and acoustics, for public observation. No additional right to

proceeding under part 2 of these regulations (10 CFR part 2) except as 
the Commission may direct. Members of the public attending open 
Commission meetings may use small electronic sound recorders to record
