or portions thereof, if the head of the agency to which the advisory 
committee reports determines such meetings may be closed to the public 
in accordance with subsection (c) of the Government in the Sunshine Act 
(5 U.S.C. 552b(c)). In this case, the applicable provisions of 5 U.S.C. 
552b(c) are subsection 552b(c)(4), which permits closure to protect 
trade secrets and commercial or financial information that is 
privileged or confidential, and subsection 552b(c)(9)(B), which permits 
closure to protect information that would be likely to significantly 
frustrate implementation of a proposed agency action were it to be 
disclosed prematurely. The closed session of the meeting will involve 
committee discussions and guidance regarding U.S. Government strategies 
and policies.
    The open session will be accessible via teleconference. To join the 
conference, submit inquiries to Ms. Yvette Springer at
