SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Emerging Technology Technical Advisory Committee (ETTAC)
advises the Department of Commerce on certain actions required to
achieve the objectives set forth in Section 1752 of the Export Control
Reform Act of 2018, 50 U.S.C. 4811.
Agenda
During the open session, ETTAC will consider public comments, and/
or
[[Page 27244]]
industry presentations. During the closed session, the ETTAC will
discuss U.S. Government strategies and potential revisions to export
control policies. Participants are encouraged to identify emerging
technologies that are not currently controlled, but should be.
The discussion of matters in the closed session are exempted from
the open meeting and public participation requirements found in
Sections 10(a)(1) and 10(a)(3) of the Federal Advisory Committee Act
(FACA) (5 U.S.C. 1009(a)(1), (a)(3)). Exemption is authorized by
Section 10(d) of the FACA (5 U.S.C. 1009(d)), which permits the closure
of advisory committee meetings, or portions thereof, if the head of the
agency to which the advisory committee reports determines that 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 which would be likely to significantly frustrate
implementation of a proposed agency action if prematurely disclosed.
Public Participation
The public may submit written statements at any time before or
after the meeting. Members of the public are encouraged to submit
materials via email to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#99cdd8dad9fbf0eab7fdf6fab7fef6ef"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="d98d989a99bbb0aaf7bdb6baf7beb6af">[email protected]</span></a> no later than May 27, 2026, for
timely distribution of information to ETTAC members. Submissions by the
public will be made available to the public and should not contain any
confidential information, unless the submitter specifically requests
that the information be treated as Confidential Business Information
(CBI) for consideration in the closed session. Any information
designated as CBI will not be discussed during the open portion of the
meeting, but it may be used to inform the work of committee members
during the closed session. To the extent that time permits, members of
the public may present oral statements in the open session. Meeting
materials will be accessible to the public at <a href="https://www.bis.gov/about-bis/technical-advisory-committees-tac">https://www.bis.gov/about-bis/technical-advisory-committees-tac</a>.

The Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Administration,
performing the non-exclusive functions and duties of the Chief
