SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Open Session—Portions may be closed pursuant to subsection (c) of section 552b of title 5, United States Code, as provided in subsection 1706(h)(3) of the United States Institute of Peace Act, Public Law 98-525 (USIP Act).

The USIP Act at subsection 1706(h)(3) (22 U.S.C. 4605(h)(3)) states that all meetings of the Board of Directors shall be open to public observation. Subsection 1706(h)(3) states that notice in the Federal Register shall be deemed to be reasonable public notice, but neither the USIP Act nor any other provision of law precludes USIP from adopting another method of public notice. Accordingly, USIP has the discretion to alter the method by which USIP provides reasonable public notice. In light of the cost of publishing notices in the Federal Register and widespread access to the internet, USIP will provide notice of all future meetings of the Board of Directors on USIP's website.

(Authority: 22 U.S.C. 4605(h)(3))
