-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Pursuant to provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act,
as amended, the Department of Commerce (the Department) announces the
reestablishment of the President's Export Council Subcommittee on
Export Administration (PECSEA) and solicits nominations for membership.
The PECSEA will advise the Secretary of Commerce or the Secretary's
designee on matters pertinent to the Export Control Reform Act of 2018
(ECRA), the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), and
other relevant laws and regulations administered by the Bureau of
Industry and Security (BIS), a component of the Department. The PECSEA
will draw on the experiences and perspectives of its members to provide
advice and make recommendations on protecting U.S. national security
and foreign policy concerns through the administration of export
controls while protecting U.S. technology leadership and commercial
trade to ensure a strong U.S. defense industrial base.
DATES: Nominations for members must be received on or before 5 p.m.

Department may continue to accept nominations under this notice for up

Springer, Committee Liaison Officer, Bureau of Industry and Security,
U.S. Department of Commerce, at <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#87def1e2f3f3e2a9d4f7f5eee9e0e2f5c7e5eef4a9e3e8e4a9e0e8f1"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="277e5142535342097457554e4940425567454e540943484409404851">[email protected]</span></a>.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Yvette Springer via email or at
202-482-2813.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The PECSEA was originally established on
June 1, 1976, as a subordinate committee of the President's Export
Council (PEC), and the PECSEA charter was renewed biennially until the
PECSEA terminated in 2019. The PECSEA is being reestablished under
agency authority as a subordinate committee of the PEC and in
accordance with section 1-205 of Executive Order (E.O.) 12131, ``The
President's Export Council'' (May 4, 1979), as amended and as continued
by successive E.O.s, most recently by E.O. 14109, ``Continuance of
Certain Federal Advisory Committees and Amendments to Other Executive
Orders,'' September 29, 2023, and in accordance with the provisions of
the Federal Advisory Committee Act, as amended (FACA) (5 U.S.C. 1001 et
seq.).
The PECSEA is a discretionary committee and will function solely as
an advisory body, complying with the provisions of FACA.
PECSEA members will be appointed by the Secretary of Commerce and
serve at the Secretary's discretion. Members will generally serve two-
year appointments and may be reappointed for membership by the
Secretary. PECSEA members must be able to qualify for a Secret security
clearance or a security clearance at a level sufficient to perform
their work on PECSEA. The PECSEA will meet approximately three times
per year. Members of PECSEA who are not otherwise paid a salary by the
federal government shall receive no compensation from the U.S. by
virtue of their service on the PECSEA, but may, upon their request, be
allowed travel expenses, as authorized by 5 U.S.C. 5701 et seq.
PECSEA will be composed of members selected from industry and other
non-governmental organizations, drawn from among members of the PEC and
other representatives of industry and other non-governmental
organizations who are exporters of or otherwise engaged in activities
related to items that are presently controlled under the Export
Administration Regulations or are proposed for such control, balanced
to the extent possible among large and small firms. The PECSEA is
seeking private-sector members who are preferably senior executives
with strategic authority within their companies and with significant
operational control around production, supply chains, research and
development activities, and/or international sales and should have an
understanding of the impact of export controls on these functions and
the broader marketplace.
PECSEA will draw on the experiences and perspectives of its members
to provide advice and make recommendations on protecting U.S. national
security and foreign policy concerns through the administration of
export controls while protecting U.S. technology leadership and
commercial trade to ensure a strong U.S. defense industrial base. The
diverse membership of the PECSEA assures perspectives reflecting the
breadth of the PECSEA's responsibilities, and, where possible, the
Department will also consider the ethnic, racial, and gender diversity
and various abilities of the U.S. population.
To Apply: If you are interested in nominating someone or yourself
to become a member of the PECSEA, please provide full name, title,
employer name, and any other information you believe relevant to the
nomination (2 pages maximum). Third-party nominations should state that
the candidate agrees to the nomination.
Please do not send organization brochures or any other information.
All applications should be submitted in pdf or MS Word format via
email to the email address listed in ADDRESSES above by the deadline
noted in DATES above.
