consultants, and staff. Persons desiring to make oral statements should 
notify the ACRS Executive Director, Dr. John [[Page 15613]] T. Larkins, 
at least five days before the meeting if possible, so that appropriate 
arrangements can be made to allow the necessary time during the meeting 
for such statements. Use of still, motion picture, and television 
cameras during this meeting may be limited to selected portions of the 
meeting as determined by the Chairman. Information regarding the time

Executive Director prior to the meeting. In view of the possibility 
that the schedule for ACRS meetings may be adjusted by the Chairman as 
necessary to facilitate the conduct of the meeting, persons planning to

discuss proprietary information per 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(4); information 
that involves the internal personnel rules and practices of this 
Advisory Committee per 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(2); and to discuss information 
the release of which would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of 
personal privacy per 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(6).
    Further information regarding topics to be discussed, whether the 
meeting has been canceled or rescheduled, the Chairman's ruling on 
requests for the opportunity to present oral statements and the time
