SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Background: The Secretary of Commerce established the REEEAC 
pursuant to discretionary authority and in accordance with the Federal 
Advisory Committee Act, as amended (5 U.S.C. App.), on July 14, 2010. 
The REEEAC was re-chartered most recently on June 7, 2018. The REEEAC 
provides the Secretary of Commerce with consensus advice from the 
private sector on the development and administration of programs and 
policies to expand the export competitiveness of U.S. renewable energy 
and energy efficiency products and services. More information regarding 
the REEEAC is available online at http://export.gov/reee/reeeac.
    On February 28, 2019, the REEEAC will hold the second in-person 
meeting of its current charter term. The Committee, with officials from 
the Department of Commerce and other agencies, will discuss major 
issues affecting the competitiveness of the U.S. renewable energy and 
energy efficiency industries, hold subcommittee work sessions to 
discuss draft recommendations, and hear about new U.S. government 
financing initiatives. An agenda will be made available by February 22, 
2019 upon request.
    The meeting will be open to the public and will be accessible to 
people with disabilities. All guests are required to register in 
advance by the deadline identified under the DATE caption. Requests for 
auxiliary aids must be submitted by the registration deadline. Last 
minute requests will be accepted but may be impossible to fill.
    A limited amount of time before the close of the meeting will be 
available for oral comments from members of the public attending the 
meeting. To accommodate as many speakers as possible, the time for 
public comments will be limited to two to five minutes per person 
(depending on number of public participants). Individuals wishing to 
reserve speaking time during the meeting must contact Ms. Gunderson and 
submit a brief statement of the general nature of the comments, as well 
as the name and address of the proposed participant, by 5 p.m. EST on 
Friday, February 22, 2019. If the number of registrants requesting to 
make statements is greater than can be reasonably accommodated during 
the meeting, the International Trade Administration may conduct a 
lottery to determine the speakers. Speakers are requested to submit a 
copy of their oral comments by email to Ms. Gunderson for distribution 
to the participants in advance of the meeting.
    Any member of the public may submit written comments concerning the 
REEEAC's affairs at any time before or after the meeting. Comments may 
be submitted to the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Advisory 
Committee,
