SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The National Council on the Humanities is meeting pursuant to the National Foundation on the Arts and the Humanities Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 951-960, as amended). The meeting will begin with remarks from the Chairman, after which the National Council on the Humanities will hear reports on and consider applications related to the distribution of NEH CARES Act funding and other agency funding to the state of Iowa.

The meeting will be closed to the public pursuant to sections 552b(c)(4), 552b(c)(6), and 552b(c)(9)(B) of Title 5 U.S.C., as amended, because it will include review of personal and/or proprietary financial and commercial information given in confidence to the agency by grant applicants, and discussion of certain information, the premature disclosure of which could significantly frustrate implementation of proposed agency action. I have made this determination pursuant to the authority granted me by the Chairman's Delegation of Authority to Close Advisory Committee Meetings dated April 15, 2016.

Dated: May 1, 2020.

Caitlin Cater,

Attorney Advisor, National Endowment for the Humanities.
