Summary

Agencies must keep clear records showing how their advisory committees used any money and what the committees did. For presidential advisory committees, the General Services Administration or another agency the President picks must keep the financial records. The Comptroller General of the United States, or an authorized representative, must be allowed to inspect those records for audits. Each agency must provide support services for the advisory committees it creates or oversees, unless the creator of the committee says otherwise. If a committee reports to more than one agency, only one agency at a time must give the support. For presidential advisory committees, the GSA may provide the support.
