SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Background: The Secretary of Commerce established the RE&EEAC

Federal Advisory Committee Act (5 U.S.C. App.) on July 14, 2010. The 
RE&EEAC was re-chartered on June 12, 2014. The RE&EEAC provides the 
Secretary of Commerce with consensus advice from the private sector on 
the development and administration of programs and policies to enhance 
the international competitiveness of the U.S. renewable energy and 
energy efficiency industries.
    During the June 23rd meeting of the RE&EEAC, committee members will 
discuss priority issues identified in advance by the Committee Chair 
and Sub-Committee leadership, and hear from interagency partners on 
issues impacting the competitiveness of the U.S. Renewable Energy and 
Energy Efficiency industries.

available for pertinent oral comments from members of the public

of the comments, as well as the name and address of the proposed
