AGENCY: International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of 
Commerce.

ACTION: Opportunity to participate in the RE3 App.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Departments of State, Commerce, and Energy (the 
``Interagency Team'') announce an opportunity for U.S.-based suppliers 
and providers of clean energy, smart grid, and energy efficiency 
solutions to participate in an interactive directory of renewable 
energy and energy efficiency solutions. The Interagency Team has

[[Page 44841]]

developed the beta version of an interactive app to serve as a mobile 
business directory for U.S. clean energy exporters, which can be 
accessed at http://www.re3app.com/. The app highlights deployments of 
sustainable technologies and systems at U.S. diplomatic missions and 
provides potential business partners around the world with a searchable 
interface to find information on potential U.S. technology and service 
providers. The app showcases a diverse array of clean energy goods and 
services, including renewable energy equipment (solar, wind, 
geothermal), biofuels, fuel cell power, smart grid technologies, and 
energy efficiency solutions, as well as U.S.-based services critical to 
the deployment of clean energy supplies. The app is expected to be 
available in mobile app stores around October 1, 2016. U.S. clean 
energy and energy efficiency exporters interested in registering to be 
part of the interactive directory and provide information on their 
company's solutions to be included in the app are requested to complete 
the online survey by no later than August 1, 2016. The app and survey 
are administered by the U.S. Department of State. The U.S. Department 
of Commerce is publishing this notice as part of its responsibility for 
public outreach for the directory.

Who will use the app?

    Target users include Foreign Service Officers and Foreign 
Commercial Service Officers and their energy sector stakeholders in 
international markets. The app will enable users to easily demonstrate 
U.S. clean energy and energy efficiency solutions available in foreign 
markets and provide a tool to facilitate commercial partnerships that 
drive the deployment of U.S. technologies and services globally. 
Through the app, a global audience, as well as the American public, 
will be invited to learn more about environmental diplomacy efforts 
overseas, and the innovative U.S. companies powering them.

Disclaimer

    The information submitted to the directory and displayed on the app 
is intended to inform users about U.S. clean energy and energy 
efficiency solutions. All U.S.-based businesses in these industries 
that meet the criteria specified in the online form will be eligible 
for the directory and app. The Interagency Team will perform due 
diligence on submissions to the Directory and expects that parties will 
perform their own due diligence, investigation, and background research 
before entering into a commercial relationship with any listed business 
or business contact facilitated through the product. A listing in the 
directory does not constitute endorsement of the business or its 
products, services or technology by the Interagency Team. The 
Interagency Team assumes no responsibility or liability for the actions 
users may take based on the information provided and reserves the right 
not to list any particular business.

ADDRESSES: To provide information for use in the app, U.S. companies 
are requested to complete the online survey by no later than August 1, 
2016. The URL for the survey: http://fluidsurveys.com/s/re3app/.
