Based on the number of items on the agenda and the progress of the meeting, a determination will be made at the meeting by the meeting coordinator and the meeting moderator regarding how many ‘‘5-minute speakers’’ can be accommodated and whether the 5minute time allocation would be reduced, to accommodate the number of speakers. D.

F. Remote Attendance and Participation CMS’ HCPCS Public Meetings are, and have been live-streamed on U-Tube for viewing and listening only.

Parking permits and instructions will be issued after the vehicle inspection. • Inspection, via metal detector or other applicable means of all persons entering the building.

We cannot assume responsibility for coordinating the receipt, transfer, transport, storage, set-up, safety, or timely arrival of any personal belongings or items used for presentation or to support a presentation.
