FEDERAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
ADVISORY BOARD
Notice of 2020 Federal Accounting
Standards Advisory Board Meetings
Federal Accounting Standards
Advisory Board.
ACTION: Notice.
lotter on DSKBCFDHB2PROD with NOTICES
AGENCY:
Pursuant to 31 U.S.C. 3511(d), the
Federal Advisory Committee Act, as
amended (5 U.S.C. App.), and the
FASAB Rules of Procedure, as amended
in October 2010, notice is hereby given
that the Federal Accounting Standards
Advisory Board (FASAB) will hold its
meetings on the following dates
throughout 2020, unless otherwise
noted.
February 26–27, 2020.
April 22–23, 2020.
June 24–25, 2020.
August 26–27, 2020.
October 21–22, 2020.
December 15–16, 2020.
The purpose of the meetings is to
discuss issues related to the following
topics:
Accounting and Reporting of
Government Land
DoD Implementation Guidance Request
Evaluation of Existing Standards
Leases
MD&A Amendments
Note Disclosures
Omnibus
Public-Private Partnerships
Reporting Model Phase II
Risk Reporting
Software Licenses
Appointments Panel
Any other topics as needed
Notice is hereby given that a portion
of each scheduled meeting may be
closed to the public. The Appointments
Panel, a subcommittee of FASAB that
makes recommendations to the sponsors
regarding appointments for non-federal
member positions, is expected to meet
during each meeting. A portion of each
Appointments Panel meeting will be
closed to the public. The reason for the
closures is that matters covered by 5
U.S.C. 552b(c)(2) and (6) will be
discussed. Any such discussions will
involve discussions that relate solely to
internal personnel rules and practices of
the sponsor agencies and the disclosure
of information of a personal nature
where disclosure would constitute a
clearly unwarranted invasion of
personal privacy. Such discussions will
be segregated into separate discussions
so that a portion of each meeting will be
open to the public.
Pursuant to section 10(d) of the
Federal Advisory Committee Act
VerDate Sep<11>2014

where the head of the agency to which
the advisory committee reports
determines that such portion of such
meeting may be closed to the public in
accordance with subsection (c) of
section 552b of title 5, United States
Code. The determination shall be in
writing and shall contain the reasons for
the determination. A determination has
been made in writing by the U.S.
Government Accountability Office, the
U.S. Department of the Treasury, and
the Office of Management and Budget,
as required by section 10(d) of the
Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5
U.S.C. App., that such portions of the
meetings may be closed to the public in
accordance with subsection (c) of
section 552b of title 5, United States
Code.

before 5 p.m. and are held at the U.S.
Government Accountability Office
(GAO) Building at 441 G St. NW in
Room 7C13. Agendas and briefing

VerDate Sep<11>2014

arrangement approved. If the sharing
station is proposing to make changes to
its facility to accommodate the channel
sharing, it must also file FCC Form 2100
Schedule C.
47 CFR 74.793(d) require that certain
digital low power and TV translator
stations submit information as to
vertical radiation patterns as part of
their applications (FCC Form 2100,

Applicants are also subject to the
third-party disclosure requirement of 47
CFR 73.3580. This section requires local
public notice in a newspaper of general

demonstrate that the station would not
cause interference to the predicted
service of broadcast television stations
on: (i) Pre-auction channels; (ii)
Channels assigned in the Channel
Reassignment Public Notice; or (iii)
Alternative channels or expanded

licensees have applied for pursuant to
paragraph (b)(2) of this section.
Licensees of low power TV and TV
