Addendum
Meeting notices printed in this section did not reach the Office of the Secretary in time to meet the Tuesday noon deadline for the previously printed Public Calendar. Under the CPSC Meetings
Policy, however, staff persons, including Commissioners, can meet
the seven-day notice requirement by placing notice of the meeting on
the Master Calendar at least seven days before the meeting. The
Master Calendar can be found on CPSC's web site at www.cpsc.gov/calendarmast.html.
In addition, the policy allows the Office of General Counsel to
waive the seven-day notice requirements of meetings of the staff
personnel, and individual Commissioners can waive the requirements
for themselves and their personal staff.
