Environmental Technologies Trade Advisory Committee; 
Establishment

    In accordance with the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee 
Act, 5 U.S.C. app. 2, and the General Services Administration (GSA) 
rule on Federal Advisory Committee Management, 41 CFR part 101-6, and 
after consultation with GSA and the Office of Management and Budget, 
the Secretary of Commerce has determined that the establishment of the 
Environmental Technologies Trade Advisory Committee is in the public 
interest in connection with the performance of duties imposed on the 
Department by law.
    The Committee will advise the Federal Government in all aspects of 
the development and conduct of programs, activities, and strategies to 
expand U.S. exports of environmental products and services. The 
Committee will advise on promotional activities and communications and 
on building business-government partnerships. The Committee shall 
provide advice on such specific issues as: Determining how both U.S. 
and foreign Government policies, regulations and programs affect the 
export of U.S. environmental products and services; assessing the 
competitiveness of the U.S. industry and its ability to respond to 
international opportunities; identifying priority export markets and 
technologies; and evaluating the progress of the U.S. Government in 
implementing the National Environmental Technologies Export Strategy.
    The Committee will consist of approximately 35 members to be 
appointed by the Secretary of Commerce. In appointing members to the 
Committee, the Secretary will seek a balanced representation among 
industry and service sectors, company size, geographic location and 
demographics.
    The Committee will function solely as an advisory body, and in 
compliance with provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act. The 
charter will be filed under the Act fifteen (15) days from the date of 
publication of this notice.
    Interested persons are invited to submit comments regarding the 
establishment of this Committee to Tiffany Smith, International Trade 
Administration, room 2015B, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th &
