Sec. 16.9  Notice of meetings.

    (a) Notice of each advisory committee meeting, whether open or 
closed to the public, shall be published in the Federal Register at 
least 15 days before the meeting date. Such notice shall include the 
exact name of the advisory committee as chartered; the time, date, place 
and purpose of the meeting; and a summary of the meeting agenda. Notice 
shall also state that the meeting is open to the public or closed in 
whole or in part, and, if closed, cite the specific exemptions of the 
Sunshine Act as the basis for closure. The Commission may permit the 
advisory committee to provide notice of less than fifteen days in 
extraordinary situations, provided that the reasons for doing so are 
included in the meeting notice.
    (b) In addition to the notice required by paragraph (a) of this 
section, other forms of notice such as press releases and notices in 
professional journals may be used to inform interested members of the 
public of advisory committee meetings.
