SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Bureau of Industry and Security 
publishes this notice to extend the recruitment period on the Deemed 
Export Advisory Committee (DEAC) from July 21, 2006 to July 28, 2006. 
The original solicitation for this Federal Advisory Committee was 
published in the Federal Register on May 22, 2006 (71 FR 29301). The 
purpose of the DEAC will be to review and provide recommendations to 
the Department of Commerce on deemed export policy.
    The DEAC, which will not exceed 12 members, will be structured to 
ensure a balanced membership that will offer a comprehensive point of 
view on the complex technical and policy questions at issue. The 
advisory committee will consist of representatives from industry, 
academia, and other experts in the field to ensure a full discussion of 
all aspects of deemed exports and knowledge transfer from the 
corporate, academic, and national security perspectives. Members will 
be called upon to advise BIS on highly technical issues surrounding 
technology transfer and to help ensure that BIS effectively carries out 
its critical national security function. To that end, the DEAC shall 
have a diverse membership with expertise in national security affairs, 
scientific research and development (R&D) policy, and the various forms 
of technology subject to the EAR, such as nuclear, chemical, missile, 
electronics, computer, telecommunications, and avionic technology.
    DEAC members will be appointed by the Secretary of Commerce and 
serve a term of not more than one year. DEAC members must obtain a 
secret security clearance 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. The DEAC will convene as appropriate, but in no case less 
than quarterly.

    Dated: July 18, 2006.
Matthew Borman,
Deputy Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Export Administration.
