Reform Act. The purpose of the meeting is to have the ETTAC 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).

Time on April 18, 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 ETTAC. The public may
submit written statements at any time before or after the meeting.
However, to facilitate distribution of materials to the ETTAC members,
the ETTAC suggests that members of the public forward their materials
prior to the meeting via email to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#1642575556747f653872797538717960"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="abffeae8ebc9c2d885cfc4c885ccc4dd">[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
The Deputy Assistant Secretary for Administration, 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>.

Committee Liaison Officer.
