3675. FEDERAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE MANAGEMENT

Priority: Other Significant

Legal Authority: 5 USC app; EO 12024

CFR Citation: 41 CFR 101-6; 41 CFR 102-3

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This rulemaking revises FPMR subpart 101-6.10 and moves it 
into the Federal Management Regulation (FMR) at 102-3. The revised 
regulation, which implements GSA's responsibilities under the Federal 
Advisory Committee Act, has not been revised since 1989 and has become 
outdated as a result of significant decisions issued by the Supreme 
Court and other Federal Courts. In addition, the revised regulation is 
expected to provide more comprehensive and effective guidance for 
agency personnel in their attempts to involve the public in Federal 
decisionmaking consistent with the principles contained in the Act.
