# 102-3.140 Policies for advisory committee meetings.

(a) Each advisory committee meeting must be held at a reasonable time and in a manner or place accessible to the public.

(b) The physical or electronic meeting room must be sufficient to accommodate advisory committee members, advisory committee or agency staff, and a reasonable number of interested members of the public.

(c) Any member of the public is permitted to file a written statement with the advisory committee, whether or not the statement is related to a specific meeting.

(d) Any member of the public may speak to or otherwise address the advisory committee if the agency's guidelines so permit.

(e) Any advisory committee meeting conducted in whole or in part through any electronic medium (such as a teleconference or through a virtual platform) must meet the requirements of this subpart. Agencies should explore having virtual meetings instead of in-person meetings as a cost savings measure.

(f) The *Federal Register* notices, agendas, and supporting materials related to each meeting should be posted on the agency advisory committee website (if one exists) as soon as they are available or at the time they are provided to the advisory committee members.
