As stipulated by the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), GSA is hereby giving notice of an open public meeting of the Federal Secure Cloud Advisory Committee (FSCAC). Information on attending and providing public comment is under the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section.

This notice announces continuation of the May 4, 2023, meeting of the National Toxicology Program (NTP) Board of Scientific Counselors (BSC) on May 16, 2023. The BSC is a federally chartered, external advisory group composed of scientists from the public and private sectors. During a public meeting on May 4, the BSC considered a report from its Working Group containing proposed recommendations on whether NTP authors sufficiently addressed internal and external scientific comments on NTP's systematic review to evaluate the neurobehavioral health effects from exposure to fluoride during development, as set forth in NTP's Draft State of the Science Monograph and Draft Meta- Analysis Manuscript. After deliberation and discussion, the BSC voted to accept the Working Group's report in full, with the exception of one paragraph on page 323 related to an IQ statistic that the BSC asked the Working Group to verify or correct. The Working Group has reexamined the text, and the BSC will discuss and deliberate the Working Group's updated input at the meeting on May 16. This is a virtual meeting and open to the public. This notice is being published less than 15 days prior to the meeting due to scheduling difficulties.

The Administration for Children and Families' (ACF) Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation (OPRE) requests Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval for an overarching generic clearance to collect data on programs serving youth transitioning out of foster care as part of the Chafee Strengthening Outcomes for Transition to Adulthood (Chafee SOTA) Project. The generic mechanism will allow ACF to conduct rapid-cycle evaluations that would not otherwise be feasible under the timelines associated with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The purpose of the data collections submitted under the generic will be to inform ACF programming by building the evidence about what works to improve outcomes for the target population and to identify innovative learning methods that address common evaluation challenges.

The Board advises the Secretary of Commerce on matters relating to the U.S. travel and tourism industry.

The U.S. Department of Energy (``DOE'') amends the current test procedure for portable air conditioners (``portable ACs'') to incorporate a measure of variable-speed portable AC performance, generally consistent with previously granted waivers, and to make minor clarifying edits. DOE also establishes a new test procedure for portable ACs that provides more representative measures of cooling capacity and energy consumption. The new test procedure will provide the basis for development of any updated efficiency standards for portable ACs. Should DOE establish such standards, the amended test procedure would become the required test method for determining compliance.
