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

    Summary: Six 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, non-proliferation, 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 the

Department of Commerce. Each TAC meets approximately 4 times per year. 
Members of the Committees will not be compensated for their services.
