SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Regulations and Procedures Technical Advisory Committee (RPTAC)
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. 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#f9adb8bab99b908ad79d969ad79e968f"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="d387929093b1baa0fdb7bcb0fdb4bca5">[email protected]</span></a> no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on
September 4, 2025.
Special Accommodations
Individuals requiring special accommodations should contact
<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#f5a1b4b6b5979c86db919a96db929a83"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="f9adb8bab99b908ad79d969ad79e968f">[email protected]</span></a> no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on September 2,
2025, so that appropriate arrangements can be made.
Public Participation
To the extent that time permits, members of the public may present
oral statements to the RPTAC. The public may also submit written
statements at any time before or after the meeting. However, to
facilitate the distribution of materials to the RPTAC members, written
materials should be submitted to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#6d392c2e2d0f041e4309020e430a021b"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="5d091c1e1d3f342e7339323e733a322b">[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 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.
