Background: The Secretary of Commerce established the RE&EEAC
[[Page 77318]]
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 February 2nd meeting of the RE&EEAC, committee members
will discuss priority issues identified in advance by the Committee
Chair and Sub-Committee leadership, hear from Department of Commerce
officials and interagency partners on major issues impacting the
competitiveness of the U.S. renewable energy and energy efficiency
industries, and submit recommendations to the Department of Commerce
intended to address these issues.
A limited amount of time before the close of the meeting 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 two to five minutes per
person (depending on number of public participants). Individuals
wishing to reserve additional speaking time during the meeting must
contact Ms. Gunderson 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 Friday, January 22, 2016. 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 submit a copy of their oral comments by email
to Ms. Gunderson for distribution to the participants in advance of the
meeting.
