DEPARTMENT OF STATE

[Public Notice: 9320]


Advisory Committee on Public-Private Partnerships; Notice of the 
Intent To Establish an Advisory Committee

    This is notice of the intent to establish the Advisory Committee on 
Public-Private Partnerships. The Committee will serve the United States 
government in a solely advisory capacity concerning the development of 
public-private partnerships that promote shared value with the private 
sector worldwide. Functions will include, but will not be limited to, 
providing information and advice on how the Department of State can 
effectively explore and form public-private partnerships with the 
private sector on foreign policy issues, and reviewing and recommending 
public-private partnership opportunities for advancing foreign policy 
objectives. The Department of State affirms that establishment of the 
Committee is necessary and in the public interest.
    The Committee will consult with other interested parties, agencies, 
and interagency committees and groups of the United States Government, 
foreign governments, and with national and international private sector 
organizations and individuals, as the Department of State and the 
Committee decides are necessary or desirable.
    The Committee will be comprised of up to twenty-five distinguished 
citizens from the private sector, including leaders of for-profit 
businesses who are in a senior management role or who lead corporate 
social responsibility units; academics, scientists and innovators; 
diaspora, faith-based and community organizations; foundations and 
philanthropic organizations; and non-governmental organizations, 
providing the Secretary with a fresh perspective and insight apart from 
and independent of the State Department organization. It will not 
perform the function of any existing Department staff or committee.
    For further information, please contact the Committee's Designated 
Federal Officer, Thomas Debass, at [email protected].

    Dated: October 14, 2015.
Thomas Debass,
Deputy Special Representative for Global Partnerships, Department of 
State.
