SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The BEAAC was established September 2, 1999, and advises the
Director of BEA on matters related to the development and improvement
of BEA's national, regional, industry, and international economic
accounts, with a focus on new and rapidly growing areas of the U.S.
economy. The BEAAC functions solely as an advisory committee to the
Director of BEA, in accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act
(title 5, United States Code, appendix 2) (FACA), and advises BEA on
topics selected by BEA in consultation with the Committee chairperson.
The BEAAC provides recommendations from the perspectives of the
economics profession, business, and government as well as
recommendations for current and proposed BEA projects. This is a highly
effective means of obtaining valuable feedback on new data products and
improvements to BEA's existing statistics.
Description of BEAAC Membership and Duties
The BEACC will consist of approximately 15 members who are
appointed by and serve at the discretion of the Director of BEA. The
Committee chairperson will be selected by the Director of BEA. Members
will be selected on a clear, standardized basis, in accordance with
applicable Department of Commerce guidance. Committee members will be
from business, academia, research, government, and international
organizations, and they must be acknowledged experts in relevant
fields, such as economics, statistics, and economic accounting.
Committee members will be considered ``special government employees''
(SGEs) and will be subject to the ethical standards applicable to SGEs.
Committee members will serve for a term up to three years. All
members will be reevaluated at the conclusion of the term with the
prospect of renewal for an additional term. Active attendance and
participation in meetings and activities (e.g., conference calls and
assignments) will be factors considered when determining term renewal
or membership continuance. Members may be appointed for no more than
three consecutive terms. Appointments may be for one, two, or three
years to provide for staggered terms.
The BEACC meets once or twice a year, budget permitting. Additional
meetings may be held as deemed necessary by the Director of BEA or the
Designated Federal Official. All meetings are open to the public in
accordance with FACA the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. 552.
Members shall not reference or otherwise utilize their BEAAC
membership in connection with public statements made in their personal
capacities without a disclaimer that the views expressed are their own
and do not represent the views of the BEACC, BEA, or the Department of
Commerce. Committee members shall serve without compensation, but may,
upon request, be reimbursed travel expenses, including per diem, as
authorized by 5 U.S.C. 5701 et seq. Because Committee members will not
have access to classified information, no security clearances are
required.
Solicitation of Nominations
The Committee is currently filling one or more positions on the
BEAAC. The Director will consider nominations of all qualified
individuals to ensure that the Committee includes the areas of
experience noted above. Individuals may nominate themselves or other
individuals, and professional associations and organizations may
nominate one or more qualified persons for membership on the Committee.
[[Page 64006]]
Nominations shall state that the nominee is willing to serve as a
member and carry out the duties of the Committee. A nomination package
should include the following information for each nominee:
1. A letter of nomination stating the name, affiliation, and
contact information for the nominee, the basis for the nomination
(i.e., what specific attributes recommend him/her for service in this
capacity), and the nominee's field(s) of experience;
2. A biographical sketch of the nominee;
3. A copy of his/her curriculum vitae; and
4. The name, return address, email address, and daytime telephone
number at which the nominator can be contacted.
The Committee aims to have a balanced representation among its
members, considering such factors as geography, age, sex, race,
ethnicity, technical expertise, community involvement, and knowledge of
programs and/or activities related to BEAAC. Individuals will be
selected based on their expertise in or representation of specific
areas as needed by BEAAC.
All nomination information should be provided in a single, complete
package. Interested applicants should send their nomination package to
Gianna Marrone, Committee Management Official, at
