Agenda

Open Session

1. Opening Remarks and Introduction by BIS Senior Management.
2. Report from working groups.

Closed Session

3. 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] no later than May 23, 2024.
    A limited number of seats will be available for the public session.

    The Deputy Assistant Secretary for Administration Performing the 
non-exclusive functions and duties of the Chief Financial Officer with 
the concurrence of the delegate of the General Counsel, formally

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
