- (b) **Time of notice.** The announcement of Commission meetings referred to in [paragraph (a)](#a) shall be made publicly available (and submitted immediately thereafter to the Federal Register for publication) at least one week prior to the consideration of any item listed therein, except where a majority of the members of the Commission determine, by a recorded vote, that Commission business requires earlier consideration of the matter. In the event of such a determination, the announcement shall be made publicly available (and submitted to the Federal Register) at the earliest practicable time.
- (c) **Amendments to notice.**
  - (1)
    - (i) The time or place of a meeting may be changed following any public announcement that may be required by [paragraph (a)](#a). In the event of such action, the Commission shall announce the change at the earliest practicable time.
    - (ii) The subject matter of a meeting, or the determination of the Commission to open or close a meeting (or a portion of a meeting), may be changed following any public announcement that may be required by [paragraph (a)](#a), if (A) a majority of the entire membership of the Commission determines, by a recorded vote, that Commission business so requires and that no earlier announcement of the change was possible; and (B) the Commission publicly announces such change and the vote of each member upon such change at the earliest practicable time.
  - (2) Notwithstanding the provisions of this [paragraph (c)](#c), matters which have been announced for Commission consideration may be deleted, or continued in whole or in part to the next scheduled Commission meeting, without notice.
