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. 1001 et seq. The

Commerce regarding the development and administration of programs to
[[Page 67418]]
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, geographic location,
and subsector. 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, civil society groups, and other U.S. organizations 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 breadth of the
Committee's responsibilities, and, where possible, the Department will
also consider the ethnic, racial, gender, sexual orientation, and
gender identity 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;
d. trade associations in the civil nuclear sector;
e. research institutions and universities; and
f. private sector organizations or other appropriate civil society
groups, such as labor representatives, involved in strengthening the
export competitiveness of U.S. civil nuclear products and services.
Members shall serve in a representative capacity, expressing the
views and interests of a U.S. entity or organization, as well as its
particular subsector; they are, therefore, not Special Government
Employees as defined in Title 18 of the United States Code, section
202(a). Each member 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 represent a U.S. company that is
majority owned or controlled by a foreign government entity (or foreign
government entities). The Secretary of Commerce invites applications
for the CINTAC, consistent with the above membership requirements. To
be considered for membership, submit the following information (2 pages
maximum) by 5:00 p.m. EDT on September 6, 2024, to the email listed in
