most current information about meetings. A notice in the Federal 
Register about last minute modifications that impact a previously 
announced advisory committee meeting cannot always be published quickly 
enough to provide timely notice.
    Agenda: The committee will hear reports from its workgroups/task 
forces and updates from ONC and other federal agencies. ONC intends to 
make background material available to the public no later than 24 hours 
prior to the meeting start time. If ONC is unable to post the 
background material on its Web site prior to the meeting, it will be 
made publicly available at the location of the advisory committee 
meeting, and the background material will be posted on ONC's Web site 
after the meeting, at http://www.healthit.gov/FACAS/health-it-policy-committee.
    Procedure: Interested persons may present data, information, or 
views, orally or in writing, on issues pending before the Committee.

meeting date. Oral comments from the public will be scheduled prior to 
the lunch break and at the conclusion of each meeting. Time allotted 
for each presentation will be limited to three minutes. If the number 
of speakers requesting to comment is greater than can be reasonably 
accommodated during the scheduled open public session, ONC will take 
written comments after the meeting.
    Persons attending ONC's advisory committee meetings are advised 
that the agency is not responsible for providing wireless access or 
access to electrical outlets.
