MAKING AVAILABLE STUDY PUBLIC ROUNDTABLE on MAY 5, 2014 REQUEST TO PARTICIPATE The hearing room in the Madison Building in Washington D.C. has a limited number of seats for participants and observers. Therefore, each participating entity may designate only one individual to represent it on a particular roundtable session, although the entity may designate a different individual for each different session the entity requests to attend. The Office will attempt to accommodate preferences to the greatest extent possible while allowing for a maximum number of viewpoints. If you are interested in participating in one or more roundtable sessions as a speaker/participant, please provide the information requested in the below form. If more than one individual seeks to participate on behalf of a particular entity, each such individual should complete and submit a participation form. Forms should be submitted electronically through this website no later than 5:00 p.m EDT on April 11, 2014 by filling out the below information and clicking on the “submit” button. If an individual is unable to submit the form electronically, please contact Kevin Amer at [email protected] for further instructions. Note: Use this form only to indicate that you wish to participate in a public roundtable. To observe the roundtable without participating at the table, the Office will provide public seating on a first-come, first-serve basis on the day of the roundtable. Because space is limited and to allow for a diverse audience, we ask that entities limit observers to one per session. We apologize in advance if the room reaches its capacity and we are required to deny admittance to late-comers. The proceedings will be transcribed for the record and the transcription will be posted on our website when it becomes available. Please be advised that the proceedings may be recorded by video; if that does occur, then participants will be asked to fill out a release form to be completed by May 1, 2014.
