DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

Bureau of Industry and Security

Technical Advisory Committees;

Notice of Recruitment of Private-Sector

Members

SUMMARY: Seven Technical Advisory

Committees (TACs) advise the

Department of Commerce on the

technical parameters for export controls

applicable to dual-use commodities and

technology and on the administration of

those controls. The TACs are composed

of representatives from industry

representatives, academic leaders and

U.S. Government representing diverse

points of view on the concerns of the

exporting community. Industry

representatives are selected from firms

producing a broad range of goods,

technologies, and software presently

controlled for national security,

nonproliferation,

foreign policy, and short

supply reasons or that are proposed for

such controls, balanced to the extent

possible among large and small firms.

TAC members are appointed by the

Secretary of Commerce and serve terms

of not more than four consecutive years.

The membership reflects the

Department’s commitment to attaining

balance and diversity. TAC members

must obtain secret-level clearances prior

to appointment. These clearances are

necessary so that members may be

permitted access to the classified

information needed to formulate

recommendations to the Department of

Commerce. Each TAC meets

approximately four times per year.

Members of the Committees will not be

compensated for their services.

The seven TACs are responsible for

advising the Department of Commerce

on the technical parameters for export

controls and the administration of those

controls within the following areas:

Information Systems TAC: Control List

that may be of interest from a dual-use

perspective; (2) the prioritization of new
