SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The TFAC was originally chartered on August 11, 2016, pursuant to
discretionary authority and in accordance with the Federal Advisory
Committee Act, as amended, 5 U.S.C. App., and was most recently re-
chartered on August 7, 2020. The TFAC serves as the principal advisory
body to the Secretary of Commerce on policy matters relating to access
to trade finance for U.S. exporters, including small- and medium-sized
enterprises, and their foreign buyers. The TFAC is the sole mechanism
by which the Department of Commerce (the Department) convenes private
sector stakeholders to identify and develop consensus-based solutions
to trade finance challenges. The Council is comprised of a diverse
group of stakeholders from the trade finance industry and the U.S.
exporting community, as well as experts from academia and public policy
organizations.
On Tuesday, July 13, 2021, the TFAC will hold the first meeting of
its 2020-2022 charter term. During the meeting, members will discuss
with officials from the Department of Commerce and other agencies
current challenges and opportunities to increase access to export
financing resources for U.S. exporters. They will also establish
priorities, the subcommittees' structure, and milestones for the
successful development of recommendations.
Meeting minutes will be available within 90 days of the meeting
upon request or on the TFAC's website at <a href="https://www.trade.gov/about-us/trade-finance-advisory-council-tfac">https://www.trade.gov/about-us/trade-finance-advisory-council-tfac</a>.
