Highlights
Tribal Advisory Committee (TAC) meetings exchange information, provide guidance, and ensure that CDC activities impacting tribes are appropriately addressed. TAC meetings create space for members to share information so that tribal concerns are heard.

Description
The TAC meeting is open to the public, although public participation is restricted. Non-TAC member participants are not allowed to speak or comment during the meeting. Virtual attendees will be informed to refrain from using the chat feature for any discussion other than technical issues. TAC members may allow alternates, technical advisors, or guests to speak on their behalf.

Why it's important
The TAC meeting operates under a Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) exemption. You can find details on the FACA exemption at https://www.cdc.gov/tribal/documents/tac/HHS-UMRA-FACA-EXEMPT-GROUP-FAQs-508.pdf.
