Deemed Export Advisory Committee; Notice To Solicit Meeting 
Speakers and Presentations

    The Deemed Export Advisory Committee (DEAC), which advises the 
Secretary of Commerce on deemed export licensing policy, will meet on 
Monday, September 10th, 2007 from approximately 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. for a 
public session. The DEAC is a Federal Advisory Committee that was 
established under the auspices of the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 
as amended, 5 U.S.C. app. 2. The meeting location will be Washington, 
DC, with exact details to be announced in a subsequent Federal Register 
Notice. At this time, the Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry 
and Security (BIS), would like to solicit stakeholders from industry, 
academia and other backgrounds to address the DEAC members on September 
10 in an open session on issues related to deemed exports and, in 
particular, their organizations' perspectives and concerns related to 
U.S. deemed export control policies. Stakeholders are those individuals 
or organizations who have some experience in or knowledge of export 
control regulations and policies, who must apply these rules in the 
course of normal business or whose operations are directly impacted by 
those export regulations and policies mandated by the U.S. Government. 
BIS seeks to have an equal number of presenters from industry, 
academia, and other backgrounds. There may be up to three presenters 
from each group and speaking time may be limited to 10 minutes or less 
per speaker depending on the number of interested parties. Speakers may 
be selected on the basis of one or more of the following criteria (not 
in any order of importance): (1) Demonstrated experience in and 
knowledge of export control regulations; (2) demonstrated ability to 
provide DEAC members with relevant information related to deemed export 
policies and issues; (3) the degree to which the organization is 
impacted by the U.S. Government's export policies and regulations; and 
(4) industry area or academic type of institution represented. BIS 
reserves the right to limit the number of participants based on time 
considerations. For planning purposes, BIS requests that: (1) 
Interested parties inform BIS of their commitment, via e-mail or 
telephone call, to address the DEAC no later than 5 p.m. EST August 24, 
2007, as well as provide a brief outline of the topics to be discussed 
by this same deadline; and, (2) once interested parties receive 
confirmation of their participation at the meeting, they provide either 
an electronic or paper copy of any prepared remarks/presentations no 
later than 5 p.m. EST September 3, 2007. Interested parties may contact 
Ms. Yvette Springer at [email protected] or (202) 482-2813. The 
purpose of this solicitation is only to solicit speakers for the 
September 10, 2007 DEAC meeting. However, all members of the public may 
submit written comments to BIS at any time for the DEAC's 
consideration.

    Dated: August 13, 2007.
