Emerging Technology Technical Advisory Committee; Notice of 
Partially Closed Meeting

may be developed over a period of five to ten years with potential 
dual-use applications as early as possible in their developmental 
stages both within the United States and abroad, and any other matters 
relating to actions designed to carry out the policy set forth in 
section 1752(1)(A) of the Export Control Reform Act. The purpose of the 
meeting is to have Committee members and U.S. Government 
representatives mutually review updated technical data and policy-
driving information that has been gathered.

Agenda

July 30, 2024

Closed Session: 9:00 a.m.-2:30 p.m.
    1. 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.
Open Session: 3:30 p.m.-4:30 p.m.
