Agenda

Open Session

    1. Welcome and Introductions.
    2. Remarks from the Bureau of Industry and Security Management.
    3. Industry Presentations.
    4. New Business.

Closed Session

    5. Discussion of matters determined to be exempt from the open 
meeting and public participation requirements found in Sections 
1009(a)(1) and 1009(a)(3) of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) 
(5 U.S.C. 1001-1014). The exemption is authorized by section 1009(d) of 
the FACA, which permits the closure of advisory committee meetings, or 
portions thereof, if the head of the agency to which the advisory 
committee reports determines such meetings may be closed to the public 
in accordance with subsection (c) of the Government in the Sunshine Act 
(5 U.S.C. 552b(c)). In this case, the applicable provisions of 5 U.S.C. 
552b(c) are subsection 552b(c)(4), which permits closure to protect 
trade secrets and commercial or financial information that is 
privileged or confidential, and subsection 552b(c)(9)(B), which permits 
closure to protect information that would be likely to significantly 
frustrate implementation of a proposed agency action were it to be 
disclosed prematurely. The closed session of the meeting will involve 
committee discussions and guidance regarding U.S. Government strategies 
and policies.
    The open session will be accessible via teleconference. To join the 
conference, submit inquiries to Ms. Yvette Springer at 
[email protected] 202-482-2813, no later than October 24,

written statements at any time before or after the meeting. However, to 
facilitate distribution of public presentation materials to Committee 
members, the Committee suggests that presenters forward the public 
presentation materials prior to the meeting to Ms. Springer.
    The Assistant Secretary for Administration, with the concurrence of 
the delegate of the General Counsel, formally determined on January 3, 
2023, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 1009(d) of the FACA, that the portion of the 
meeting dealing with pre-decisional changes to the Commerce Control 
List and the U.S. export control policies shall be exempt from the 
provisions relating to public meetings found in 5 U.S.C. 1009(a)(1) and 
1009(a)(3). The remaining portions of the meeting will be open to the
