SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Committee was established under the discretionary authority of 
the Secretary of Commerce and in accordance with the Federal Advisory 
Committee Act (5 U.S.C. App. 2). It provides advice to the Secretary of 
Commerce on the necessary elements of a comprehensive policy approach 
to supply chain competitiveness designed to support U.S. export growth 
and national economic competitiveness, encourage innovation, facilitate 
the movement of goods, and improve the competitiveness of U.S. supply 
chains for goods and services in the domestic and global economy; and 
provides advice to the Secretary on regulatory policies and programs 
and investment priorities that affect the competitiveness of U.S. 
supply chains. For more information about the Committee visit: http://trade.gov/td/services/oscpb/supplychain/acscc/.

Matters To Be Considered

    Committee members are expected to deliberate and vote on the Trade 
and Competitiveness subcommittee's recommendation to Secretary 
Pritzker, which generally urges the Administration to expand market 
access for U.S. firms to international markets, implement the WTO Trade 
Facilitation Agreement (TFA), support customs trade transformation 
initiatives, and ensure our trading partners' compliance with our trade 
agreements. This recommendation, available at: http://trade.gov/td/services/oscpb/supplychain/acscc/documents/May%2021%202015%20Conf%20Call/ACSCC%20trade%20ltr%20to%20SPP%20TC%20Subcomm.pdf, has been reviewed 
and discussed over the last several open meetings of the ACSCC, most 
recently at the April 16 meeting. The Office of Supply Chain, 
Professional & Business Services will post the final agenda and the 
recommendation on its Web site at least one week prior to the meeting. 
The conference call will be open to the public and press on a first-
come, first-served basis. Access lines are limited. The minutes of the 
meetings will be posted on the Committee Web site within 60 days of the 
meeting.
