Technical Advisory Committees; Notice of Recruitment of Private-
Sector Members

SUMMARY: 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 and 
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, foreign policy, nonproliferation, 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 can be permitted access to 
relevant classified information needed in formulating recommendations 
to the Department of Commerce. Each TAC meets approximately 4 times per 
year. Members of the TACs will not be compensated for their services.
    Three TACs are currently seeking to fill membership vacancies.

Commerce are the following: the Materials TAC--Control List Category 1
