NATIONAL FOUNDATION ON THE
ARTS AND THE HUMANITIES
National Endowment for the Arts;
Determination of the Chairperson of
the National Endowment for the Arts
Regarding Potential Closure of
Portions of Meetings of the National
Council on the Arts
Section 6(f) of the National
Foundation on the Arts and the
Humanities Act of 1965, as amended (20
U.S.C. 951 et seq.) authorizes the
National Council on the Arts to review
applications for financial assistance to
the National Endowment for the Arts
and make recommendations to the
Chairperson.
The Federal Advisory Committee Act
(FACA), as amended (Pub. L. 92–463)
governs the formation, use, conduct,
management, and accessibility to the
public of committees formed to advise
the Federal Government. Section 10 of
that Act directs meetings of advisory
committees to be open to the public,
except where the head of the agency to
which the advisory committee reports
determines in writing that a portion of
a meeting may be closed to the public
consistent with subsection (c) of section
552b of title 5, United States Code (the
Government in the Sunshine Act).
It is the policy of the National
Endowment for the Arts that meetings of
the National Council on the Arts be
VerDate jul<14>2003

conducted in open session, including
those parts during which applications
are reviewed. However, in recognition
that the Endowment is required to
consider the artistic excellence and
artistic merit of applications for
financial assistance and that
consideration of individual applications
may require a discussion of matters
such as an individual artist’s abilities,
reputation among colleagues, or
professional background and
performance, I have determined to
reserve the right to close limited
portions of Council meetings if such
information is to be discussed. The
purpose of the closure is to protect
information of a personal nature where
disclosure would constitute a clearly
unwarranted invasion of personal
privacy. Closure for this purpose is
authorized by subsection (c)(6) of
section 552b of title 5 United States
code.
Additionally, the Council will
consider prospective nominees for the
National Medal of Arts award in order
to advise the President of the United
States in his final selection of National
Medal of Arts recipients. During these
sessions, similar information of a
personal nature will be discussed. As
with applications for financial
assistance, disclosure of this
information about individuals who are
under consideration for the award
would constitute a clearly unwarranted
invasion of personal privacy.
Therefore, in light of the above, I have
determined that those portions of
Council meetings devoted to
consideration of prospective nominees
for the National Medal of Arts award,
may be closed to the public. Closure for
these purposes is authorized by
subsections (c)(6) of section 552b of title
5, United States Code. A record shall be
maintained of any closed portion of the
Council meeting. Further, in accordance
with the FACA, a notice of any intent
to close any portion of the Council
meeting will be published in the
Federal Register.
Dated: March 10, 2005.
Dana Gioia,
Chairman, National Endowment for the Arts.
