Background
The Information Systems Technical Advisory Committee (ISTAC)
advises and assists the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) and other
Federal officials and agencies with respect to actions designed to
carry out the policy set forth in section 1752 of the Export Control
Reform Act. The purpose of the meeting is to have the ISTAC members and
U.S. Government representatives mutually review the updated technical
data and policy-driving information that has been gathered.
Agenda
The open session will include working group reports, open business
discussions, and industry presentations. The closed session will
include discussion of matters determined to be exempt from the open
meeting and public participation requirements found in sections
1009(a)(1) and 1009(a)(3) of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA)
(5 U.S.C. 1001-1014).

The open session will be accessible via teleconference.

session should contact <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#095d484a496b607a276d666a276e667f"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="2470656764464d570a404b470a434b52">[email protected]</span></a> no later than 11:59 p.m. eastern
time on April 16, 2025, so that appropriate arrangements can be made.
Public Participation
To the extent that time permits during the open session, members of
the public may present oral statements to the ISTAC. The public may
submit written statements at any time before or after the meeting.
However, to facilitate distribution of materials to the ISTAC members,
the ISTAC suggests that members of the public forward their materials
prior to the meeting via email to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#5c081d1f1c3e352f7238333f723b332a"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="1c485d5f5c7e756f3278737f327b736a">[email protected]</span></a>. Material submitted
by the public will be made public; therefore, submissions should not
contain confidential information. Meeting materials from the open
session will be accessible via the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC)
website at: <a href="https://tac.bis.doc.gov">https://tac.bis.doc.gov</a>, within 30 days after the meeting.
Closure Determination
A Senior Advisor, performing the Non-Exclusive Functions and Duties
of the Chief Financial Officer and Assistant Secretary for
Administration, with the concurrence of the delegate of the General
Counsel, formally determined, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 1009(d), that the
portion of the meeting dealing with pre-decisional changes to the
Commerce Control List and the U.S. export control policies shall be
exempt from the provisions relating to public meetings found in 5
U.S.C. 1009(a)(1) and 1009(a)(3). The remaining portions of the meeting
will be open to the public. The exemption is authorized by section
1009(d) of the FACA, which permits the closure of advisory committee
meetings, or portions thereof, if the head of the agency to which the
advisory committee reports determines such meetings may be closed to
the public in accordance with subsection (c) of the Government in the
Sunshine Act (5 U.S.C. 552b(c)). In this case, the applicable
provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552b(c) are subsection 552b(c)(4), which permits
closure to protect trade secrets and commercial or financial
information that is privileged or confidential, and subsection
552b(c)(9)(B), which permits closure to protect information that would
be likely to disclose information the premature disclosure of which
would be likely to significantly frustrate implementation of a proposed
agency action. The closed session of the meeting will involve committee
discussions and guidance regarding U.S. Government strategies and
policies.
Meeting Cancellation
If the meeting is cancelled, a cancellation notice will be posted
on the TAC website at: <a href="https://tac.bis.doc.gov">https://tac.bis.doc.gov</a>.
Kevin Coyne,
Committee Liaison Officer.
