President's Export Council Subcommittee on Export Administration; 
Notice of Recruitment of Private-Sector Members

SUMMARY: The President's Export Council Subcommittee on Export 
Administration (PECSEA) advises the U.S. Government on matters and 
issues pertinent to implementation of the provisions of the Export 
Administration Act and the Export Administration Regulations, as 
amended, and related statutes and regulations. These issues relate to 
U.S. export controls as mandated by law for national security, foreign 
policy, non-proliferation, and short supply reasons. The PECSEA draws 
on the expertise of its members to provide advice and make 
recommendations on ways to minimize the possible adverse impact export 
controls may have on U.S. industry. The PECSEA provides the Government 
with direct input from representatives of the broad range of industries 
that are directly affected by export controls.
    The PECSEA is composed of high-level industry and Government 
members representing diverse points of view on the concerns of the 
business community. PECSEA industry representatives are selected from 
firms producing a broad range of goods, technologies, and software 
presently controlled for national security, foreign policy, non-
proliferation, and short supply reasons or that are proposed for such 
controls, balanced to the extent possible among large and small firms.
    PECSEA members are appointed by the Secretary of Commerce and serve 
at the Secretary's discretion. The membership reflects the Department's 
commitment to attaining balance and diversity. PECSEA members must 
obtain secret-level clearance prior to appointment. These clearance are 
necessary so that members can be permitted access to relevant 
classified information needed in formulating recommendations to the 
President and the U.S. Government. The PECSEA meets 4 to 6 times per 
year. Members of the Subcommittee will not be compensated for their 
services. The PECSEA is seeking approximately eight private-sector 
members with senior export control expertise and direct experience in 
one or more of the following industries: machine tools, semiconductors, 
commercial communication satellites, high performance computers, 
telecommunications, aircraft, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals. Please 
send a fact sheet on your company that details your activity in the 
areas listed above, as well as a short biographical sketch on the 
individual who wishes to become a candidate. Materials may be faxed to 
the number below.

DEADLINE: This request will be open for 15 days from date of 
publication in the Federal Register.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Lee Ann Carpenter on (202) 482-
