 CHAPTER XXVII--FEDERAL MINE SAFETY AND HEALTH REVIEW COMMISSION

      PART 2701--GOVERNMENT IN THE SUNSHINE ACT REGULATIONS
 
Sec. 2701.6  Discussion during open meetings.

    Deliberations, discussions, comments, statements, or observations 
made during the course of an open meeting do not constitute actions of 
the Commission, nor do they necessarily represent the basis for any 
Commission action. Comments made by a Commissioner or an employee of the 
Commission may be advanced for purposes of discussion or argument, or as 
an aside, and may not reflect the views or ultimate position of that 
Commissioner or employee. Reasons for decisions stated by a Commissioner 
at an open meeting may be later changed by that Commissioner, as may a 
Commissioner's vote. For these reasons, persons who choose to act on the 
basis of discussions at open meetings do so entirely at their own risk 
and without any assurance that the Commission's final decisions will be 
reflective of the discussions or initial vote.
