Meetings

The CAAAC meets three times annually in various locations throughout the United States. Subcommittee meetings are often held in conjunction with CAAAC meetings, but special subcommittee meetings are also held as necessary.

Meeting agendas for each upcoming CAAAC meeting will be posted on the CAAAC home page two weeks before the meeting date. Minutes from CAAAC meetings will be posted three weeks after the CAAAC meeting has commenced.

All CAAAC meetings are open to the public and notices of these meetings are announced in the Federal Register. Detailed meeting information and handouts are available at each meeting and at the Office of Air and Radiation (OAR) Docket under index number A-94-34.
