Committee members also stay informed through document review and informal briefings and individual participation in technical meetings. e03f8581-f210-404a-9dfb-f65a80c555e3 A vast amount of complex information is being developed and the use of the committee as part of a comprehensive public participation program is an efficient way to focus public attention on issues and receive informed input.
