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 May 27, 2022. 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 REEEAC, 
including the list of appointed members for this charter, is published 
online at http://trade.gov/reeeac.
    On April 4, 2023, the REEEAC will hold the second 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, determine sub-committee structure, and provide consultation 
on REEEAC leadership. An agenda will be made available by April 4, 2023 
upon request to Cora Dickson.
    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 DATES caption. Requests
