permits the closure of advisory
committee meetings, or portions thereof,
if the head of the agency to which the
advisory committee reports determines
such meetings may be closed to the
public in accordance with subsection (c)
of the Government in the Sunshine Act
(5 U.S.C. 552b(c)). In this case, the
applicable provisions of 5 U.S.C.
552b(c) are subsection 552b(c)(9)(B),
which permits closure to protect
information that would be likely to
significantly frustrate implementation of
a proposed agency action were it to be
disclosed prematurely, and 552b(c)(6),
which permits closure to protect
information disclosure of which would
constitute an unwarranted invasion of
privacy. The closed session of the
meeting will involve committee
discussions and guidance regarding
USAID’s strategies and policies that
substantially impact the interests of
third-parties. The Administrator, with
the concurrence of the General Counsel,
formally determined on June 13, 2023
pursuant to section 10 of the FACA, (5
U.S.C. 1009(d)), that the portion of the
meeting dealing with the privacy
interests of third-parties and predecisional changes to Agency source
selection policies and evaluation criteria
relating to awards under the Partnership
for Peace Fund shall be exempt from the
provisions relating to public meetings
found in 5 U.S.C. 1009(a)(1) and
1009(a)(3).
The remaining portions of the meeting
