SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background: The CINTAC was established under the discretionary
authority of the Secretary of Commerce and in accordance with the
Federal Advisory Committee Act, as amended (5 U.S.C. app.), in response
to an identified need for consensus advice from U.S. industry to the
U.S. Government regarding the development and administration of
programs to expand United States exports of civil nuclear goods and
services in accordance with applicable U.S. laws and regulations,
including advice on how U.S. civil nuclear goods and services export
policies, programs, and activities will affect the U.S. civil nuclear
industry's competitiveness and ability to participate in the
international market.
The Department of Commerce renewed the CINTAC charter on August 5,
2020. This meeting is being convened under the seventh charter of the
CINTAC.
Topics to be considered: The agenda for the CINTAC meeting on
Thursday, February 17, 2022, is as follows:
Closed Session (10:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m.)--Discussion of matters
determined to be exempt from the provisions of the Federal Advisory
Committee Act relating to public meetings found in 5 U.S.C. app.
(10)(a)(1) and 10(a)(3). The session will be closed to the public
pursuant to Section 10(d) of FACA as amended by Section 5(c) of the
Government in Sunshine Act, Public Law 94-409, and in accordance with
Section 552b(c)(4) and Section 552b(c)(9)(B) of Title 5, United States
Code, which authorize closure of meetings that are ``likely to disclose
trade secrets and commercial or financial information obtained from a
person and privileged or confidential'' and ``likely to significantly
frustrate implementation of a proposed agency action,'' respectively.
The part of the meeting that will be closed will address (1) nuclear
cooperation agreements; (2) encouraging ratification of the Convention
on Supplementary Compensation for Nuclear Damage; and (3)
identification of specific trade barriers impacting the U.S. civil
nuclear industry.
Public Session (1:00 p.m.-3:00 p.m.)--Discuss work of the
subcommittees, review of deliberative recommendations, and opportunity
to hear from members of the public.
Members of the public wishing to attend the public session of the
meeting must notify Mr. Chesebro at the contact information above by
5:00 p.m. EST on Friday, February 11, 2022 in order to pre-register to
participate. Please specify any requests for reasonable accommodation
at least five business days in advance of the meeting. Last minute
requests will be accepted but may not be possible to fill. A limited
amount of time will be available for 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 two (2)
minutes per person, with a total public comment period of 30 minutes.
Individuals wishing to reserve speaking time during the meeting must
contact Mr. Chesebro and submit a brief statement of the general nature
of the comments and the name and address of the proposed participant by
5:00 p.m. EST on Friday, February 11, 2022. 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.
Any member of the public may submit written comments concerning the
CINTAC's affairs at any time before or after the meeting. Comments may
be submitted to Mr. Jonathan Chesebro at <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="59133637382d313837773a313c2a3c3b2b36192d2b383d3c773e362f">[email protected]</a>.
