PART 1011_NOTICE OF AGENCY ACTIVITIES--Table of Contents
 
Sec.  1011.4  Forms of advance public notice of meetings; Public 
Calendar/Master Calendar and Federal Register.

    Advance notice of Agency activities is provided so that members of 
the public may know of and participate in these activities to the 
fullest extent possible. Where appropriate, the Commission uses the 
following types of notice for both Agency meetings subject to 16 CFR 
part 1012 and Commission meetings subject to 16 CFR part 1013:
    (a) Public Calendar/Master Calendar. (1) The printed Public Calendar 
and the Master Calendar maintained in the Office of the Secretary are 
the principal means by which the Agency notifies the public of its day-
to-day activities. The Public Calendar and/or Master Calendar provide 
advance notice of public hearings, Commission meetings, Agency meetings 
with outside parties involving substantial interest matters, other 
Agency meetings, selected staff meetings, advisory committee meetings, 
and other activities such as speeches and participation in panel 
discussions, regardless of the location. The Public Calendar also lists 
recent CPSC Federal Register issuances and Advisory Opinions of the 
Office of the General Counsel.
    (2) Upon request in writing to the Office of the Secretary, Consumer 
Product Safety Commission, Washington, D.C. 20207, any person or 
organization will be sent the Public Calendar on a regular basis free of 
charge. In addition, interested persons may contact the Office of the 
Secretary to obtain information from the Master Calendar which is kept 
current on a daily basis.
    (3) The Public Calendar and the Master Calendar, supplemented by 
meeting summaries, are intended to serve the requirements of section 
27(j)(8) of the Consumer Product Safety Act (15 U.S.C. 2076(j)(8)).

    (b) Federal Register. Federal Register is the publication through 
which official notifications, including formal rules and regulations of 
the Agency, are made. Because the Public Calendar and/or Master Calendar 
are the primary devices through which the Agency notifies the public of 
its routine, daily activities, the Federal Register will be utilized 
only when required by the Government in the Sunshine Act (as provided in 
16 CFR part 1013) or other applicable law, or when the Agency believes 
that the additional coverage which the Federal Register can provide is 
necessary to assist in notification to the public of important meetings.
