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 5, 2020. The REEEAC 
provides the Secretary of Commerce with 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 about the Committee, 
including the list of appointed members for this charter, is published 
online at http://trade.gov/reeeac.
    On February 17, 2022, the REEEAC will hold the sixth 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, covering four broad themes: Trade promotion and market 
access, global decarbonization, clean energy supply chains, and 
technology and innovation. The Committee will also review 
recommendations developed by subcommittee in these areas. This meeting 
will also include a briefing from interagency officials on U.S. 
government efforts to deploy offshore wind energy and develop a 
domestic supply chain for offshore wind goods and services. To receive 
an agenda please make a request to REEEAC DFO Cora Dickson per above. 
The agenda will be made available no later than February 11, 2022.
    The Committee 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 not be possible 
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 REEEAC DFO Cora 
Dickson using the contact information above and submit a brief 
statement of the general nature of the comments, as well as the name 
and address of the proposed participant, by 5:00 p.m. EST on Friday, 
February 11, 2022. 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 Cora Dickson 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
