    (a) Except to the extent such information is exempt from disclosure

announcement, at least 7 days before the meeting, of the following:
    (1) Time of the meeting;
    (2) Place of the meeting;
    (3) Subject matter of the meeting;
    (4) Whether the meeting or parts thereof are to be open or closed to 
the public; and
    (5) The name and telephone number of the person designated by the 
Board or committee to respond to requests for information about the 
meeting.
    (b) The 7 day period for the public announcement required by 
paragraph (a) of this section may be reduced if a majority of the 
members of the Board or committee, as applicable, determine by a 
recorded vote that Board or committee business requires that such 
expedited meeting be called at an earlier date. The Board or committee 
shall make public announcement of the time, place, and subject matter of 
such meeting, and whether open or closed to the public, at the earliest 
practicable time.
    (c) The time or place of a meeting or deletion of subject matter may 
be changed following the public announcement required by paragraph (a)

the earliest practicable time. Such change need not be voted on by the 
members.
    (d) The subject matter of a meeting or the determination of the 
Board or committee, as applicable, to open or close a meeting, or 
portion of a meeting, to the public, may be changed following the public 
announcement required by paragraph (a) of this section only if:
    (1) A majority of the entire voting membership of the Board of a 
majority of the entire voting membership of a committee, determines by a 
recorded vote that Board or committee business so requires and that no 
earlier announcement of the change was possible; and
    (2) The Board or committee publicly announces such change and the 
vote of each member upon such change at the earliest practicable time.
    (e) The earliest practicable time as used in this section, means as 
soon as possible, which should in few, if any, instances be no later 
than commencement of the meeting or portion in question.
    (f) Immediately following each public announcement required by this 
section, notice of the time, place and subject matter of a meeting, 
whether the meeting is open or closed, any change in one of the 
preceding, and the name and telephone number of the person designated by 
the Board or committee to respond to requests for information about the 
meeting, shall also be submitted for publication in the Federal 
Register.
