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 12, 2014. 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 December 17th meeting of the RE&EEAC, committee members
will discuss key objectives and the types of issues they plan to
address during the course of the Committee's two-year charter. Previous
recommendations were developed by the previous Committee on finance,
U.S. competitiveness, trade policy, and trade promotion.
A limited amount of time, from approximately 3:30 p.m. to 3:45
p.m., will be available for pertinent 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 additional speaking time
during the meeting must contact Mr. Bennett and submit a brief

statements is greater than can be reasonably accommodated during the
meeting, the International Trade Administration may conduct a lottery
