Common Questions about Federal Advisory Committees
GSA has created a data visualization tool (dashboard) to allow the public to evaluate data on federal advisory committees using a series of questions that the Secretariat has frequently received regarding the governmentwide FACA program. The Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) allow users to select an agency and/or Fiscal Year of interest to tailor the results displayed. Results are drawn from data that have been verified through the statutorily required Annual Comprehensive Review of federal advisory committees, and thus do not include current year data.
