DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
Bureau of Industry and Security
Technical Advisory Committees; Notice of Recruitment of Private-
Sector Members
SUMMARY: Seven Technical Advisory Committees (TACs) advise the
Department of Commerce on the technical parameters for export controls
applicable to dual-use commodities and technology and on the
administration of those controls. The TACs are composed of
representatives from industry representatives, academic leaders and
U.S. Government representing diverse points of view on the concerns of
the exporting community. Industry representatives are selected from
firms producing a broad range of goods, technologies, and software
presently controlled for national security, non-proliferation, foreign
policy, and short supply reasons or that are proposed for such
controls, balanced to the extent possible among large and small firms.
TAC members are appointed by the Secretary of Commerce and serve
terms of not more than four consecutive years. The membership reflects
the Department's commitment to attaining balance and diversity. TAC
members must obtain secret-level clearances prior to appointment. These
clearances are necessary so that members may be permitted access to the
classified information needed to formulate recommendations to the
Department of Commerce. Each TAC meets approximately four times per
year. Members of the Committees will not be compensated for their
services.
The seven TACs are responsible for advising the Department of
Commerce on the technical parameters for export controls and the
administration of those controls within the following areas:
Information Systems TAC: Control List Categories 3 (electronics), 4
(computers), and 5 (telecommunications and information security);
Materials TAC: Control List Category 1 (materials, chemicals,
microorganisms, and toxins); Materials Processing Equipment TAC:
Control List Category 2 (materials processing); Regulations and
Procedures TAC: The Export Administration Regulations (EAR) and
Procedures for implementing the EAR; Sensors and Instrumentation TAC:
Control List Category 6 (sensors and lasers); Transportation and
Related Equipment TAC: Control List Categories 7 (navigation and
avionics), 8 (marine), and 9 (propulsion systems, space vehicles, and
related equipment) and Emerging Technology and Research Advisory
Committee: (1) The identification of emerging technologies and research
and development activities that may be of interest from a dual-use
perspective; (2) the prioritization of new and existing controls to
determine which are of greatest consequence to national security; (3)
the potential impact of dual-use export control requirements on
research activities; and (4) the threat to national security posed by
the unauthorized exports of technologies.
