International Trade Administration


Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Executive Business 
Development Mission; Clarification and Amendment

AGENCY: International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The United States Department of Commerce, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. and Foreign Commercial Service (CS) is publishing 
this supplement to the Notice of the Renewable Energy and Energy 
Efficiency Executive Business Development Mission, 76 FR, No. 140, July 
21, 2011, to clarify eligibility and amend the Notice to revise the 
dates and provide for selection of applicants on a rolling basis.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Amendments To Revise the Dates and Provide for Selection of Applicants 
on a Rolling Basis

Background

    Recruitment for this Mission began at the end of June, and some 
pending applicants have indicated a need to finalize their schedules 
and travel arrangements for upcoming holidays and end of fiscal 2011 
year financial reports. Rather than wait until after the October 17, 
2011 deadline to vet all applicants and make selection decisions, CS is 
amending the Notice to allow for vetting and selection decisions on a 
rolling basis beginning September 1, 2011, until the maximum of 20 
participants is selected. Although applications will be accepted 
through October 17th (and after that date if space remains and 
scheduling constraints permit), interested U.S. renewable energy firms 
and trade organizations which have not already submitted an application 
are encouraged to do so as soon as possible.

Amendments

    1. For the reasons stated above, the Timeframe for Recruitment and 
Applications section of the Notice of the Renewable Energy and Energy 
Efficiency Executive Business Development Mission, 76 FR, No. 140, July 
21, 2011, is amended to read as follows:

Timeframe for Recruitment and Applications

    Mission recruitment will be conducted in an open and public manner, 
including publication in the Federal Register, posting on the Commerce 
Department trade mission calendar (http://export.gov/trademissions) and 
other Internet Web sites, press releases to general and trade media, 
direct mail, notices by industry trade associations and other 
multiplier groups, and publicity at industry meetings, symposia, 
conferences, and trade shows. Recruitment for this mission will 
conclude no later than October 17, 2011. The U.S. Department of 
Commerce will review applications and make selection decisions on a 
rolling basis beginning August 31, 2011. We will inform all applicants 
of selection decisions on a rolling basis. Applications received after 
the October 17 deadline will be considered only if space and scheduling 
constraints permit.
