Congress established ACCSH in Section 107 of the Contract Work

ACCSH operates in accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee
Act (FACA), as amended (5 U.S.C. App. 2), and the implementing
regulations (41 CFR 102-3 et seq.); and Department of Labor Manual
Series Chapter 1-900 (8/31/2020). Pursuant to FACA (5 U.S.C. App. 2,

The new charter clarifies the procedures for the formulation of
meeting agendas and the creation of Committee subcommittees and work
groups.
