# §7.9. Public notice of advisory committee establishment, reestablishment, or renewal.

- (a) After the Commission has received notice from the Committee Management Secretariat that its review of a proposal to establish, reestablish, renew, or utilize an NRC discretionary advisory committee has been completed, the Commission shall publish a notice in the Federal Register that the committee is being established, reestablished, renewed, or utilized. In the case of a new committee, the notice shall also describe the nature and purpose of the committee and shall include a statement that the committee is necessary and in the public interest.
- (b) Notices required to be published pursuant to [paragraph (a)](#a) of this section shall be published at least 15 calendar days before the committee charter is filed pursuant to [§ 7.8](/cfr/10/7.8.md), except that the Committee Management Secretariat may approve publication for less than 15 days for good cause shown. The 15-day advance notice requirement does not apply to advisory committee renewals, notices of which may be published concurrently with the filing of the charter.
