reasonably be segregated into separate
discussions without defeating the

CFR 102–3.140 and 102–3.150, the

a specific topic being discussed at the
meeting that is the subject of this notice,

no later than 3 business days prior to
the scheduled meeting date. Written
statements received after this date may
not be provided to or considered by the
RFPB until its next scheduled meeting.
