materials are posted online at <a href="http://trade.gov/ettac">http://trade.gov/ettac</a>.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Committee shall consist of approximately
35 members appointed by the Secretary in accordance with applicable
Department of Commerce guidance and based on their ability to carry out
the objectives of the Committee. Members shall represent U.S.
environmental technologies manufacturing and services companies, U.S.
trade associations, U.S. private sector organizations, States or
associations representing the States, and other appropriate groups and
interested individuals involved in the promotion of exports of
environmental technologies products and services.
Members of the Committee are selected, in accordance with
applicable Department of Commerce guidelines, based on their ability to
carry out the objectives of the Committee as set forth in the Charter
and in a manner that ensures that the Committee is balanced in terms of
points of view, industry subsector, geography, and company size. The
diverse membership of the Committee assures perspectives reflecting the
full breadth of the Committee's responsibilities, and, where possible,
the Department of Commerce will also consider the ethnic, racial, and
gender diversity and various abilities of the United States population.
Members of the Committee serve at the pleasure of the Secretary
from the date of appointment to the Committee to the date on which the
Committee's charter terminates. Members of the Committee serve in a
representative capacity presenting the views and interests of a U.S.
entity or U.S. organization, as well as their particular subsector;
they are, therefore, not Special Government Employees.
Members of the Committee must not be registered as foreign agents
under the Foreign Agents Registration Act. No member may represent a
company that is majority owned or controlled by a foreign government
entity (or foreign government entities). Members of the Committee will
not be compensated for their services or reimbursed for their travel
expenses.
If you are interested in applying or nominating someone else to
become a member of the Committee, please provide the following
information:
(1) Sponsor letter on the company's, trade association's or
organization's letterhead containing the name, title, and relevant
contact information (including phone and email address) of the
individual who is applying or being nominated;
(2) An affirmative statement that the nominee will be able to meet
the expected time commitments of Committee work. Committee work
includes (1) attending Committee meetings roughly four times per year
(lasting one day each), including attending at least four Committee
meetings in-person during the 2022-2024 Charter (including the first
and last Committee meetings), (2) undertaking additional work outside
of full committee meetings including subcommittee conference calls or
meetings as needed, and (3) frequently drafting, preparing, or
commenting on proposed recommendations to be evaluated at Committee
meetings;
(3) Short biography of nominee, including credentials;
(4) Brief description of the company, trade association, or
organization to be represented and its business activities; company
size (number of employees and annual sales); and export markets served;
(5) An affirmative statement that the nominee meets all Committee
eligibility requirements.
Please do not send company, trade association, or organization
brochures or any other information.
See the ADDRESSES and DATES captions above for how and the deadline
for submitting nominations.
Nominees selected for appointment to the Committee will be notified
by email.
Man K. Cho,
Deputy Director, Office of Energy and Environmental Industries.
