SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background and Authority
The CINTAC was established on August 13, 2008, pursuant to the
Department of Commerce authority under 15 U.S.C. 1512 and the Federal
Advisory Committee Act, as amended (FACA), 5 U.S.C. app. The CINTAC
functions solely as an advisory committee in accordance with the
provisions of FACA. The CINTAC provides advice to the Secretary of
Commerce regarding the development and administration of programs to
expand U.S. exports of civil nuclear goods and services which will be
used by the Department in its role as a member of the Civil Nuclear
Trade Working Group of the Trade Promotion Coordinating Committee and
as a member of the TeamUSA interagency group to promote U.S. civil
nuclear trade. In particular, the Committee advises on matters
including, but not limited to:
(1) Matters concerning trade policy development and negotiations
relating to U.S. civil nuclear exports;
(2) The effect of U.S. Government policies, regulations, programs,
and foreign government policies and practices on the export of U.S.
civil nuclear goods and services;
(3) The competitiveness of U.S. industry and its ability to compete
for civil nuclear products and services opportunities in international
markets, including specific problems in exporting, and provide specific
recommendations regarding U.S. Government and public/private actions to
assist civil nuclear companies in expanding their exports;
(4) The identification of priority civil nuclear products and
services markets with the potential for high immediate returns for U.S.
exports, as well as emerging markets with a longer-term potential for
U.S. exports;
(5) Strategies to increase private sector awareness and effective
use of U.S. Government export promotion programs, and recommendations
on how U.S. Government programs may be more efficiently designed and
coordinated;
(6) The development of complementary industry and trade association
export promotion programs, including ways for greater and more
effective coordination of U.S. Government efforts with private sector
organizations' civil nuclear industry export promotion efforts; and
(7) The development of U.S. Government programs to encourage
producers of civil nuclear products and services to enter new foreign
markets, in connection with which CINTAC may advise on how to gather,
disseminate, and promote awareness of information on civil nuclear
exports and related trade issues.
II. Membership
CINTAC shall consist of approximately 40 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. entities involved in the export
of civil nuclear products and services and reflect the diversity of
this sector, including in terms of entities' size and geographic
location. The Committee shall also represent the diversity of company
or organizational roles in the development of civil nuclear energy
projects, including, for example, U.S. civil nuclear manufacturing and
services companies, U.S. utilities, U.S. trade associations, and other
U.S. organizations or civil society groups in the U.S. civil nuclear
sector. Members will be selected based on their ability to carry out
the objectives of the CINTAC, in accordance with applicable Department
of Commerce guidelines. In selecting members, priority will be given to
the selection of executives, i.e., Chief Executive Officer, Executive
Chairperson, President, or an officer with a comparable level of
responsibility. The diverse membership of the Committee assures
perspectives reflecting the full breadth of the Committee's
responsibilities, and, where possible, the Department will also
consider the ethnic, racial, and gender diversity and various abilities
of the United States population. The Department is committed to
achieving diversity in the membership of the Council to the maximum
extent permitted by law consistent with the need for balanced industry
representation. The Department may seek additional nominations as
necessary to attain membership balance

and demographic diversity. The Secretary shall appoint to the Committee
at least one individual representing each of the following:
a. Civil nuclear manufacturing and services companies;
b. small businesses;
c. utilities;

of the Committee must be a U.S. citizen and must not be registered as a
foreign agent under the Foreign Agents Registration Act. No member may
