DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
Bureau of Industry and Security
Technical Advisory Committees; Notice of Recruitment of Members
The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), Department of Commerce
is announcing its recruitment of candidates to serve on one of its six
Technical Advisory Committees (``TACs'' or ``Committees''). TAC members
advise the Department of Commerce on the technical parameters for
export controls applicable to dual-use items (commodities, software,
and technology) and on the administration of those controls. The TACs
are composed of representatives from industry, academia, and the U.S.
Government and reflect diverse points of view on the concerns of the
exporting community. Industry representatives are selected from firms
producing a broad range of items currently controlled for national
security, non-proliferation, foreign policy, and short supply reasons
or that are proposed for such controls. Representation from the private
sector is balanced to the extent possible among large and small firms.
Six TACs are responsible for advising the Department of Commerce on
the technical parameters for export controls and the administration of
those controls within specified areas: Information Systems TAC: Control
List Categories 3 (electronics), 4 (computers), and 5
(telecommunications and information security); Materials and Equipment
TAC: Control List Categories 1 (materials, chemicals, microorganisms,
and toxins) and 2 (materials processing); Sensors and Instrumentation
TAC: Control List Category 6 (sensors and lasers); Transportation and
Related Equipment TAC: Control List Categories 7 (navigation and
avionics), 8 (marine), and 9 (propulsion systems, space vehicles, and
related equipment); and the Emerging Technology TAC (identification of
emerging and foundational technologies that may be developed over a
period of five to ten years with potential dual-use applications). The
sixth TAC, the Regulations and Procedures TAC, focuses on the Export
Administration Regulations (EAR) and procedures for implementing the
EAR.
TAC members are appointed by the Secretary of Commerce and serve
terms of not more than four consecutive years. TAC members must obtain
secret-level clearances prior to their appointment. These clearances
are necessary so that members may be permitted access to classified
information that may be
[[Page 20390]]
needed to formulate recommendations to the Department of Commerce.
Applicants are strongly encouraged to review materials and information
on each Committee website, including the Committee's charter, to gain
an understanding of each Committee's responsibilities, matters on which
the Committee will provide recommendations, and expectations for
members. Members of any of the six TACs may not be registered as
foreign agents under the Foreign Agents Registration Act. No TAC member
may represent a company that is majority owned or controlled by a
foreign government entity (or foreign government entities). TAC members
will not be compensated for their services or reimbursed for their
travel expenses.
If you are interested in becoming a TAC member, please provide the
following information: 1. Name of applicant; 2. affirmation of U.S.
citizenship; 3. organizational affiliation and title, as appropriate;
4. mailing address; 5. work telephone number; 6. email address; 7.
summary of qualifications for membership; 8. An affirmative statement
that the candidate will be able to meet the expected commitments of
Committee work. Committee work includes: (a) Attending in-person/
teleconference Committee meetings roughly four times per year (lasting
1-2 days each); (b) undertaking additional work outside of full
Committee meetings including subcommittee conference calls or meetings
as needed, and (c) frequently drafting, preparing or commenting on
proposed recommendations to be evaluated at Committee meetings.
Finally, candidates must provide an affirmative statement that they
meet all Committee eligibility requirements.
The Department of Commerce is committed to equal opportunity in the
workplace and seeks diverse Advisory Committee membership.
