NATIONAL FOUNDATION ON THE

National Endowment for the Arts;
Determination of the Chairperson of
the National Endowment for the Arts
as to Certain Advisory Committees:
Public Disclosure of Information and
Activities
The National Endowment for the Arts
utilizes advice and recommendations of
advisory committees in carrying out
many of its functions and activities.
The Federal Advisory Committee Act,
as amended (Pub. L. 92–463), governs
the formation, use, conduct,
management, and accessibility to the
public of committees formed to advise
and assist the Federal Government.
Section 10 of the Act specifies that
department and agency heads shall
make adequate provisions for
participation by the public in the
activities of advisory committees, except
to the extent a determination is made in
writing by the department or agency
head that a portion of an advisory
committee meeting may be closed to the
public in accordance 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 to make the
fullest possible disclosure of records to
the public, limited only by obligations
of confidentiality and administrative
necessity. Consistent with this policy,
meetings of the following Endowment
advisory committees will be open to the
public except for portions dealing with
the review, discussion, evaluation, and/
or ranking of grant applications: Arts
Advisory Panel and the Federal
Advisory Committee on International
Exhibitions.
The portions of the meetings
involving the review, discussion,
evaluation and ranking of grant
applications may be closed to the public
for the following reasons:

The Endowment Advisory
Committees listed above review and
discuss applications for financial
assistance. While the majority of
applications received by the agency are
submitted by organizations, all of the
applications contain the names of and
personal information relating to
individuals who will be working on the
proposed project. In reviewing the
applications, committee members
discuss the abilities of the listed
individuals in their fields, the
reputations of the listed individuals
among their colleagues, the ability of the
listed individuals to carry through on
projects they start, and their background
and performance. Consideration of these
matters is essential to the review of the
artistic excellence and artistic merit of
an application.
Consequently, in the interest of
meeting our obligation to consider
artistic excellence and artistic merit
when reviewing applications for
financial assistance:
It is hereby determined in accordance
with the provisions of section 10(d) of
the Act that the disclosure of
information regarding the review,
discussion, and evaluation of
applications for financial assistance as
outlined herein is likely to disclose
information of a personal nature the
disclosure of which would constitute a
clearly unwarranted invasion of
personal privacy.
Therefore, in light of the above, I have
determined that the above referenced
meetings or portions thereof, devoted to
review, discussion, evaluation, and/or
ranking of applications for financial
assistance may be closed to the public
in accordance with subsection (c)(6) of
section 552b of Title 5, United States
Code.
The staff of each committee shall
prepare a summary of any meeting or
portion not open to the public within
three (3) business days following the
conclusion of the meeting of the
National Council on the Arts
considering applications recommended
by such committees. The summaries
shall be consistent with the
considerations that justified the closing
of the meetings.
All other portions of the meetings of
these advisory committees shall be open
to the public unless the Chairperson of
the National Endowment for the Arts or
a designee determines otherwise in
accordance with section 10(d) of the
Act.
The Panel Coordinator shall be
responsible for publication in the
Federal Register or, as appropriate, in
local media, of a notice of all advisory
committee meetings. Such notice shall
