Federal Advisory Committee Act Clause Samples
The Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) clause governs the establishment and operation of advisory committees that provide advice or recommendations to federal agencies. It requires that such committees be formally chartered, operate transparently, and make their meetings and records accessible to the public, unless specific exemptions apply. This clause ensures that the advice given to federal agencies is subject to public scrutiny and accountability, thereby promoting transparency and preventing undue influence in government decision-making.
