Registration
Registration for the December 2026 PTAC public meeting is required. Members of the public may attend the meeting in three ways: in person, via Livestream, or by dialing in only (via telephone). After registering, you will receive an email confirmation from PTACRegistration@norc.org. Meeting logistical information and meeting materials also will be shared from PTACRegistration@norc.org each morning of the meeting.
Public Comment
Advance registration to provide a public comment is preferred, although you also may sign up to make a public comment on the day of the event. If you would like to make a public comment on Tuesday, December 8, please check “yes” to making a public comment on your registration form. Public comments will be limited to three minutes per person during the public comment period. Participants will be invited to speak in person at the microphone or virtually by phone, in the order in which their requests are received. The Public Comment Period takes place near the end of the meeting. Since the timing of the deliberation cannot be estimated, we suggest public commenters be present for the entirety of the meeting to ensure they do not miss their opportunity to share a comment. Please email PTACRegistration@norc.org with any questions.
In-Person Participation
To attend in person, please register by Friday, December 4. Select “In Person” on your registration form. Advance registration is preferred, although you also may register to attend the meeting in person on the day of the meeting. Details about attending the PTAC public meeting at the Hubert H. Humphrey Building can be found on the Location page.
If you plan to attend in person, you MUST present a REAL ID or REAL-ID compliant government-issued photo identification to enter the Hubert H. Humphrey Building. A REAL ID (license or ID card) meets higher federal security standards, marked by a star, and is required to enter this secure federal facility, unless you have an alternative REAL-ID compliant identification such as a U.S. passport.
At the Humphrey Building, enter through the main doors, located on Independence Avenue SW, to proceed through security. All attendees should be prepared to undergo a personal inspection upon entering the building. The inspection may be conducted with a handheld monitoring device, a metal detector, and/or by visible inspection. Additionally, your personal belongings may be inspected and passed through an X-ray machine.

Humphrey Building are required to complete an advance security process, which includes sharing their passport, to attend the meeting.
