The meeting is open to the public, but

section of this notice by the date
specified in the DATES section of this
notice. This meeting will be held in a
federal government building, the Hubert
H. Humphrey (HHH) Building;
therefore, federal security measures are
applicable.
The REAL ID Act of 2005 (Pub. L.
109–13) establishes minimum standards
for the issuance of state-issued driver’s
licenses and identification (ID) cards. It
prohibits federal agencies from
accepting an official driver’s license or
ID card from a state for any official
purpose unless the Secretary of the
Department of Homeland Security
determines that the state meets these
standards. Beginning October 2015,
photo IDs (such as a valid driver’s
license) issued by a state or territory not
in compliance with the Real ID Act will
not be accepted as identification to enter
federal buildings. Visitors from these
states/territories will need to provide
alternative proof of identification (such
as a valid passport) to gain entrance into
federal buildings. The current list of
states from which a federal agency may
accept driver’s licenses for an official
purpose is found at https://www.dhs.gov/
real-id-enforcement-brief.
We recommend that confirmed
registrants arrive reasonably early, but
no earlier than 45 minutes prior to the
start of the meeting, to allow additional
time to clear security. Security measures
include the following:
• Presentation of a government-issued
photographic identification to the
Federal Protective Service or Guard
Service personnel.
• Inspection, via metal detector or other
applicable means, of all persons

entering the building. We note that all
items brought into HHH Building,
whether personal or for the purpose of
presentation or to support a
presentation, are subject to
inspection. 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.
Note: Individuals who are not registered in
advance will not be permitted to enter the
building and will be unable to attend the
meeting.
This document does not impose
information collection requirements,
that is, reporting, recordkeeping, or
third-party disclosure requirements.
Consequently, there is no need for
review by the Office of Management and
Budget under the authority of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. Chapter 35).
Authority: Sec. 1114 (f) of the Social
Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1314(f)), sec. 222 of
the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C.
217a), and sec. 10(a) of Pub. L. 92–463 (5
U.S.C. App. 2, sec. 10(a) and 41 CFR part
102–3).
