SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In March 2007, the Governments of the United
States and Brazil established the U.S.-Brazil CEO Forum (Forum).
Through a Federal Register notice on October 12, 2018 (83 FR 51663),
the Department of Commerce solicited applicants for appointment to the
U.S. Section for a term of three years to expire November 30, 2021, and
on December 21, 2018 (83 FR 65627), the term was extended through
February 24, 2022. Vacancies arising during the three-year term were
filled through the same process (see 83 FR 65627 (Dec. 21, 2018) and 86
FR 1479 (Jan. 8, 2021)). The Secretary of Commerce and the Director of
the National Economic Council, together with the Brazilian Minister of
Economy and the Planalto Casa Civil Minister (Presidential Chief of
Staff), co-chair the U.S.-Brazil CEO Forum (Forum), pursuant to the
Terms of Reference signed in March 2007 by the U.S. and Brazilian
governments, as amended, which set forth the objectives and structure
of the Forum. The Terms of Reference may be viewed at: <a href="https://www.trade.gov/us-brazil-ceo-forum-terms-reference/">https://www.trade.gov/us-brazil-ceo-forum-terms-reference/</a>. The Forum,
consisting of both private and public sector members, brings together
leaders of the respective business communities of the United States and
Brazil to discuss issues of mutual interest, particularly ways to
strengthen the economic and commercial ties between the two countries.
The Forum consists of the U.S. and Brazilian Government co-chairs and a
Committee comprised of private sector members. The Committee is
composed of two Sections, each consisting of approximately ten to
twelve members from the private sector, representing the views and
interests of the private sector business community in the United States
and Brazil. Each government appoints the members to its respective
Section. The Committee provides joint recommendations to the two
governments that reflect private sector views, needs, and concerns
regarding the creation of an economic environment in which their
respective private sectors can partner, thrive, and enhance bilateral
commercial ties to expand trade between the United States and Brazil.
As stated in the amended Terms of Reference, ``members [of the
Forum] normally are to serve three-year terms but may be reappointed.''
The current U.S. Section Member appointments expire on February 24,
2022. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the most recently scheduled
meeting of the United States-Brazil CEO Forum, resulting in a need for
additional time for the current U.S. Section Members to participate in
ongoing events through April 2022. For that reason, the Secretary of
Commerce and the Director of the National Economic Council have decided
to extend the current U.S.
