________________________________________________________________________
The Department of Commerce encourages, serves, and promotes the Nation's
international trade, economic growth, and technological advancement. The
Department provides a wide variety of programs through the competitive
free enterprise system. It offers assistance and information to increase
America's competitiveness in the world economy; administers programs to
prevent unfair foreign trade competition; provides social and economic
statistics and analyses for business and government planners; provides
research and support for the increased use of scientific, engineering,
and technological development; works to improve our understanding and
benefits of the Earth's physical environment and oceanic resources;
grants patents and registers trademarks; develops policies and conducts
research on telecommunications; provides assistance to promote domestic
economic development; and assists in the growth of minority businesses.
The Department was designated as such by act of March 4, 1913 (15 U.S.C.
1501), which reorganized the Department of Commerce and Labor, created
by act of February 14, 1903 (15 U.S.C. 1501), by transferring all labor
activities into a new, separate Department of Labor. The Department of
Commerce (DOC) is composed of the Office of the Secretary and the
operating units.
Office of the Secretary
Secretary The Secretary is responsible for the administration of all
functions and authorities assigned to the Department of Commerce and for
advising the President on Federal policy and programs affecting the
industrial and commercial segments of the national economy. The
Secretary is served by the offices of Deputy Secretary, Inspector
General, General Counsel, and the Assistant Secretaries of
Administration, Legislative and Intergovernmental Affairs, and Public
Affairs. Other offices whose public purposes are widely administered are
detailed below.
Business Liaison This office develops and promotes a cooperative
working relationship and ensures effective communication between the
Department of Commerce and the business community. The Office's
objectives are to keep the business community aware of Department and
administration resources, policies, and programs, and to keep Department
and administration officials aware of issues of concern to business. The
Office also promotes business involvement in departmental policymaking
and program development, and provides technical assistance to businesses
that desire help in dealing with the Government.
For further information, call 202-482-3942.
Consumer Affairs This office seeks to promote a better understanding
between businesses and consumers, to help business improve the quality
of their services, to educate consumers to make wise purchasing
decisions, and to provide the consumer viewpoint in the development of
economic policy. Through a variety of programs, the Office works with
businesses, consumers, Government agencies, and international
organizations to develop innovative ways to encourage American
businesses to become more competitive both in the United States and in
the global marketplace.

Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization The Office of Small and
Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU) serves as the principal
departmental advocate for small, minority, and women business owners. It
assures that small firms fully participate
[[Page 151]]
[[Page 152]]
in Commerce programs and receive the maximum amount of Commerce contract
and subcontract dollars.
The Office is the focal point of the Department's constant efforts
to increase awards to small firms by searching for opportunities to
match with the capabilities of small, minority, and women-owned firms.
It informs the small business community about Commerce opportunities
by publishing the Annual Forecast of Contracts, by individual
counseling, and by participating with other Federal agencies and trade
associations at procurement fairs.
The Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization was
established by the Small Business Act, as amended (15 U.S.C. 644).
For further information, call 202-482-1472.
