SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
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 Committee 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/or
industry presentations. The closed session will include the discussion
of matters determined to be exempt from the open meeting consistent
with the public participation requirements in Sections 1009(a)(1) and
1009(a)(3) of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) (5 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 the 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
virtual attendance. Individuals interested in participating virtually
should contact <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#2e7a6f6d6e4c475d004a414d00494158"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="b4e0f5f7f4d6ddc79ad0dbd79ad3dbc2">[email protected]</span></a> no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on
August 24, 2025.
Special Accommodations
Individuals requiring special accommodations to access the open
session virtually should contact <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#4410050704262d376a202b276a232b32"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="2f7b6e6c6f4d465c014b404c01484059">[email protected]</span></a> no later than 11:59
p.m. Eastern Time on August 20, 2025, so that appropriate arrangements

Public Participation
To the extent that time permits, members of the public may present

statements at any time before or after the meeting. However, to
facilitate the distribution of materials to the ISTAC members, written
materials should be submitted to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#a7f3e6e4e7c5ced489c3c8c489c0c8d1"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="89ddc8cac9ebe0faa7ede6eaa7eee6ff">[email protected]</span></a> prior to the start of
the meeting. All such materials submitted will be made public and,
therefore, should not contain confidential information. Meeting
materials from the open session will be posted to the Technical
Advisory Committee (TAC) site (<a href="https://tac.bis.doc.gov">https://tac.bis.doc.gov</a>) within 30 days
after the meeting.
Closure Determination
The Acting 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.
