                     Reestablished, and Terminated?
 
Sec.  102-3.65  What are the public notification requirements for 

discretionary advisory committees?

    A notice to the public in the Federal Register is required when a 
discretionary advisory committee is established, renewed, or 
reestablished.
    (a) Procedure. Upon receiving notice from the Secretariat that its 
review is complete in accordance with Sec.  102-3.60(a), the agency must 
publish a notice in the Federal Register announcing that the advisory 
committee is being established, renewed, or reestablished. For the 
establishment of a new advisory committee, the notice also must describe 
the nature and purpose of the advisory committee and affirm that the 
advisory committee is necessary and in the public interest.
    (b) Time required for notices. Notices of establishment and 
reestablishment of advisory committees must appear at least 15 calendar 
days before the charter is filed, except that the Secretariat may 
approve less than 15 calendar days when requested by the agency for good 
cause. This requirement for advance notice does not apply to advisory 
committee renewals, notices of which may be published concurrently with 
the filing of the charter.
