SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Background: The CINTAC was established under the discretionary 
authority of the Secretary of Commerce and in accordance with the 
Federal Advisory Committee Act, as amended (5 U.S.C. App.), in response 
to an identified need for consensus advice from U.S. industry to the 
U.S. Government regarding the development and administration of 
programs to expand United States exports of civil nuclear goods and 
services in accordance with applicable U.S. laws and regulations, 
including advice on how U.S. civil nuclear goods and services export 
policies, programs, and activities will affect the U.S. civil nuclear 
industry's competitiveness and ability to participate in the 
international market.
    The Department of Commerce renewed the CINTAC charter on August 5, 
2020. This meeting is being convened under the seventh charter of the 
CINTAC.

Thursday, December 16, 2021, is as follows:
