business days prior to the meeting. If ONC is unable to post the

meeting, and the background material will be posted on ONC's Web site
after the meeting, at http://healthit.hhs.gov.

Oral comments from the public will be scheduled in the agenda. Time
allotted for each presentation will be limited to three minutes. If the
number of speakers requesting to comment is greater than can be
reasonably accommodated during the scheduled public comment period, ONC
will take written comments after the meeting until close of business on
that day.
ONC welcomes the attendance of the public at its advisory committee
meetings. If you require special assistance due to a disability, please
