Overseas Security Advisory Council (OSAC) Renewal

    The Department of State has renewed the Charter of the Overseas 
Security Advisory Council. This federal advisory committee will 
continue to interact on overseas security matters of mutual interest 
between the U.S. Government and the American private sector. The 
Council's initiatives and security publications provide a unique 
contribution to protecting American private sector interests abroad. 
The Under Secretary for Management determined that renewal of the 
Charter is necessary and in the public interest.
    The Council consists of representatives from three (3) U.S. 
Government agencies and thirty-one (31) American private sector 
companies and organizations. The Council follows the procedures 
prescribed by the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) (Pub. L. 92-
463). Meetings will be open to the public unless a determination is 
made in accordance with Section 10(d) of the FACA and 5 U.S.C. 
552b(c)(4), that a meeting or a portion of the meeting should be closed 
to the public. Notice of each meeting

[[Page 72142]]

will be provided in the Federal Register at least 15 days prior to the 
meeting.
