Federal Advisory Committee Act

From Free net encyclopedia

The Federal Advisory Committee Act (or FACA) is a United States federal law (Public Law 92-463, 6 October 1972), which governs the behavior of advisory committees. In particular it restricts the formation of such committees to only those which are deemed essential, limits their powers to provision of advice to officers and agencies in the executive branch of the Federal Government, and limits the length of term during which any such committee may operate.
