    Type:Notice
    Citation:90 FR 9436
    Reading Time:about a minute or two

    The Joint Board for the Enrollment of Actuaries announced a change in the location for the Advisory Committee on Actuarial Examinations meeting previously planned at the Internal Revenue Service building in Washington, DC, due to weather-related closures. Instead, the meeting was conducted via teleconference, as stated in the amended notice. The meeting schedule remained the same, spanning January 6-7, 2025. This change of venue was beyond the control of the Board, leaving no time to notify the public as typically required by regulations.

    Simple Explanation

    The Joint Board for the Enrollment of Actuaries had to change the meeting for exams to a phone call because of bad weather where the meeting was supposed to be held. They couldn't tell everyone in time, and unfortunately, they didn't share the phone number either, which might have made some people miss it.
