Despite our efforts to get this meeting notice published early, we were unable to do so. The Advisory Council meeting notice appeared on the public inspection desk of the Federal Register on October 20, 2014. This revised notice clarifies that final votes on the Council's recommendations to the Secretary will occur on November 4, 2014, as announced by the Council chair at public meetings of the ERISA Advisory Council in June and September. On October 14, 2014, a notice of the meeting appeared on the ERISA Advisory Council Web page of the EBSA Web site.

The morning session on November 4 will be in C5320 Room 6. The afternoon session on November 4 will take place in Room S-2508 at the same address. The purpose of the open meeting on is for the Advisory Council members to discuss the recommendations they will present to the Secretary on November 3 and, on the morning of November 4, to finalize the recommendations. At the November 4 afternoon session, the Council members will receive an update from the Assistant Secretary of Labor for the Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA) and present their recommendations.
