SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background: The Secretary of Commerce established the RE&EEAC
pursuant to his discretionary authority and in accordance with the
Federal Advisory Committee Act (5 U.S.C. App.) on July 14, 2010. The
RE&EEAC was re-chartered on June 18, 2012. The RE&EEAC provides the
Secretary of Commerce with consensus advice from the private sector on
the development and administration of programs and policies to enhance
the international competitiveness of the U.S. renewable energy and
energy efficiency industries.
During the February 12th meeting of the RE&EEAC, committee members
will present their initial recommendations on improving the export
competitiveness of the RE&EE sector. Recommendations have been
developed over the course of 2013 through four subcommittees: finance,
U.S. competitiveness, trade policy, and trade promotion.
A limited amount of time, from 3:30 p.m.-3:45 p.m., will be
available for pertinent brief oral comments from members of the public
attending the meeting. To accommodate as many speakers as possible, the
time for public comments will be limited to five minutes per person.
Individuals wishing to reserve speaking time during the meeting must
contact Mr. Mulholland and submit a brief statement of the general
nature of the comments, as well as the name and address of the proposed
participant by 5:00 p.m. EST on Wednesday, February 5, 2014. If the
number of registrants requesting to make statements is greater than can
be reasonably accommodated during the meeting, the International Trade
Administration may conduct a lottery to determine the speakers.
Speakers are requested to bring at least 20 copies of their oral
comments for distribution to the participants and public at the
meeting.
Any member of the public may submit pertinent written comments
concerning the RE&EEAC's affairs at any time before or after the
