6.1.2: Federal Advisory Committee Act

Administer the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA).

Other Information:

With the expertise from advisory committee members, federal officials and the nation have access to information and advice on a broad range of issues affecting federal policies and programs. The public, in return, has an opportunity to participate actively in the federal government's decision-making process. Each federal agency that sponsors advisory committees must follow the requirements established by the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) and administrative guidelines provided by GSA’s Committee Management Secretariat. GSA has been responsible for Federal Advisory Committee Act oversight since 1977. Seeking the advice and assistance of our public has long been recognized as an effective way to engage the public. http://www.gsa.gov/faca
