# §2.6. Transcripts and recordings.

- (a) The Commission Secretary shall maintain a complete transcript or electronic recording adequate to record fully the proceedings of each meeting, or portion of a meeting, closed to public observation. An electronic recording of a meeting shall be coded, or other records shall be kept in a manner adequate to identify each speaker.
- (b)
  - (1) In the case of any meeting closed pursuant to [11 CFR 2.4(b)](/cfr/11/2.4.md?p=b), as the last item of business, the Commission will determine which, if any, portions of the electronic recording or transcript and which if any, items of information withheld under [11 CFR 2.5](/cfr/11/2.5.md) contain information which should be withheld pursuant to [11 CFR 2.4](/cfr/11/2.4.md).
  - (2) Portions of transcripts or recordings determined to be outside the scope of any exemptions under [11 CFR 2.6(b)(1)](#b-1) shall be promptly made available to the public through the Commission's Public Records Office at a cost sufficient to cover the Commission's actual cost of duplication or transcription. Requests for such copies shall be made and processed in accordance with the provisions of [11 CFR part 5](/cfr/11/part5.md).
  - (3) Portions of transcripts or electronic recordings not made available immediately pursuant to [11 CFR 2.6(b)(1)](#b-1), and portions of transcripts or recordings withheld pursuant to [11 CFR 2.4(a)](/cfr/11/2.4.md?p=a), will be made available on request when the relevant exemptions no longer apply. Such materials shall be requested and processed under the provisions of [11 CFR 2.6(b)(2)](#b-2).
- (c) A complete verbatim copy of the transcript or a complete electronic recording of each meeting, or portion of a meeting, closed to the public, shall be maintained by the Commission Secretary in confidential files of the Commission, for a minimum of two years subsequent to such meeting, or a minimum of one year after the conclusion of any agency proceeding with respect to which the meeting, or portion of the meeting, was held, whichever occurs later.
