FEDERAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ADVISORY BOARD


Notice of 2019 Federal Accounting Standards Advisory Board 
Meetings

AGENCY: Federal Accounting Standards Advisory Board.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pursuant to 31 U.S.C. 3511(d), the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 
as amended (5 U.S.C. App.), and the FASAB Rules Of Procedure, as 
amended in October 2010, notice is hereby given that the Federal 
Accounting Standards Advisory Board (FASAB) will hold its meetings on 
the following dates throughout 2019, unless otherwise noted.

February 27, 2019
April 24-25, 2019
June 26-27, 2019
August 28-29, 2019
October 23-24, 2019
December 17-18, 2019

    A portion of each meeting will be closed to the public. The purpose 
of the meetings is to discuss issues related to the following topics:

Accounting and Reporting of Government Land
Classified Activities
DoD Implementation Guidance Request
Evaluation of Existing Standards
Leases
Note Disclosures
Public-Private Partnerships
Reporting Model Phase I: MD&A and Stewardship Investments
Improvements
Reporting Model Phase II
Risk Reporting
Appointments Panel
Any other topics as needed

    Notice is hereby given that FASAB may meet in closed session for a 
portion of each of its scheduled meetings listed above for purposes of 
discussing the Classified Activities topic. The reason for the closures 
is that matters covered by 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1) will be discussed. The 
discussions will involve matters of national defense that have been 
classified by appropriate authorities pursuant to Executive Order.
    In addition, the Appointments Panel, a subcommittee of FASAB that 
makes recommendations to the sponsors regarding appointments for non-
federal member positions, is expected to meet during these meetings. A 
portion of each Appointments Panel meeting will be closed to the 
public. The reason for the closures is that matters covered by 5 U.S.C. 
552b(c)(2) and (6) will be discussed. Any such discussions will involve 
discussions that relate solely to internal personnel rules and 
practices of the sponsor agencies and the disclosure of information of 
a personal nature where disclosure would constitute a clearly 
unwarranted invasion of personal privacy. Such discussions will be 
segregated into separate discussions so that a portion of each meeting 
will be open to the public.
    Pursuant to section 10(d) of the Federal Advisory Committee Act 
(FACA), portions of advisory committee meetings may be closed to the 
public where the head of the agency to which the advisory committee 
reports determines that such portion of such meeting may be closed to 
the public in accordance with subsection (c) of section 552b of title 
5, United States Code. The determination shall be in writing and shall 
contain the reasons for the determination. A determination has been 
made in writing by the U.S. Government Accountability Office, the U.S. 
Department of the Treasury, and the Office of Management and Budget, as 
required by section 10(d) of the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 
U.S.C. App., that such portions of the meetings may be closed to the 
public in accordance with subsection (c) of section 552b of title 5, 
United States Code.
    Unless otherwise noted, FASAB meetings begin at 9 a.m. and conclude 
before 5 p.m. and are held at the U.S. Government Accountability Office 
(GAO) Building at 441 G St. NW in Room 7C13. Agendas and briefing 
materials will be available at https://www.fasab.gov/briefing-materials/ approximately one week before each meeting.
    Any interested person may attend the meetings as an observer. Board 
discussion and reviews are open to the public except for those portions 
that are closed. GAO Building security requires advance notice of your 
attendance. If you wish to attend a FASAB meeting, please pre-register 
on our website at https://www.fasab.gov/pre-registration/ no later than 
12 p.m. the Monday before the meeting to be observed.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Wendy M. Payne, Executive 
Director, 441 G Street NW, Suite 1155, Washington, DC 20548, or call

    Dated: February 1, 2019.
Wendy M. Payne,
