Committee Act'' or ``FACA''), 5 U.S.C. 552b (commonly known as the 
``Government in the Sunshine Act''), and 41 CFR 102-3.140 and 102-
3.150. Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552b and 41 CFR 102-3.140 through 102-
3.165, this meeting is open to the public.

    Meeting Accessibility: Limited space is available for observers and 
will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. Meeting location 
is handicap accessible. The Main Gate/Visitor's Gate on 2nd Street SW 
is open 24/7. All non-DoD, non-federally affiliated visitors must use 
this gate to access Fort McNair.
    Base Access Requirements: All visitors without a DoD Common Access 
Card or U.S. military ID must be vetted in advance to gain entry onto 
the base. Per the U.S. Army, all non-DoD civilians are required to have 
a background check before being allowed on a military installation; 
better known as vetting. It is highly recommended that visitors undergo 
the pre-vetting process and apply online as detailed below.

For Pre-Vetting

    To allow sufficient time for processing, access requests should be 
submitted no more than 14 days ahead or less than three days before the 
event. The visitor will receive notification via email, and, if 
approved, a one-day visitor's pass for entry onto the base. The visitor 
must print the pass and present it to the guard at the gate to enter 
Fort McNair.
    (a) If the visitor has a valid U.S. driver's license:
    (i) The visitor can apply for access online at https://pass.aie.army.mil/jbmhh/. Under Reason for Visit, select ``Other.'' 
Alternatively, the visitor can apply in person at the Fort McNair 
Visitor Control Center (VCC)/Police Substation (Building 65) from 8:00 
a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.
    (b) If the visitor does not have a U.S. driver's license:
    (i) The visitor must fill out a paper application in person at the 
Fort McNair Visitor Control Center VCC/Police Substation (Building 65) 
from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.

For Vetting the Day of the Event

    The visitor must apply in person at the Fort McNair VCC/Police 
Substation (Building 65) from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through 
Friday. The visitor should plan to arrive early, as the procedure for 
running background checks and issuing passes can take much longer than 
expected.
