2. Establishment of Advisory Committee

The Access Board has used advisory committees consisting of representatives of interest groups that are affected by its guidelines and standards to assist in developing the guidelines and standards. Advisory committees provide significant expertise on issues and an opportunity for interest groups to reach consensus on issues. The Access Board plans to convene an advisory committee when the comment period on the rulemaking closes to assist the Board in reviewing the comments and make recommendations on issues addressed in the rulemaking. The Access Board will issue a separate notice in the Federal Register announcing the establishment of the advisory committee and seeking nominations for membership on the advisory committee to represent the interests of individuals with disabilities, medical device manufacturers, health care providers, standards setting organizations, and other interested parties. Advisory committee meetings will be announced in advance in the Federal Register and will be open to the public.
