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 September 22nd meeting of the RE&EEAC, committee members

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 
attending the meeting. To accommodate as many speakers as possible, the
