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 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 Thursday, August 4, 2022, the TFAC will hold the fourth meeting
of its 2020-2022 charter term. During the meeting, the TFAC will
receive an update on the implementation status of previously adopted
recommendations, the subcommittees will put forth recommendations for a
vote by the full TFAC, and the TFAC will close out its charter term.
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>.
