SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Emerging Technology Technical Advisory Committee (ETTAC) 
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 ETTAC members and 
U.S. Government representatives mutually review updated technical data 
and policy-driving information that has been gathered.

Agenda

    The open session will include 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

[[Page 31957]]

U.S.C. 1001-1014). 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.

Open Session Attendance

    The open session will be accessible via teleconference. 
Registration in advance is required to receive the meeting invite for

non-exclusive functions and duties of the Chief Financial Officer and

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
