Bureau of Export Administration


Technical Advisory Committees; Notice of Recruitment of Private-
Sector Members

SUMMARY: Technical Advisory Committees (TACs) advise the Department of
Commerce on the technical parameters for export controls applicable to
dual-use commodities and technology and on the administration of those
controls. The TACs are composed of representatives from industry and
Government representing diverse points of view on the concerns of the
exporting community. Industry representatives are selected from firms
producing a broad range of goods, technologies, and software presently
controlled for national security, foreign policy, nonproliferation, and
short supply reasons or that are proposed for such controls, balanced
to the extent possible among large and small firms.
    TAC members are appointed by the Secretary of Commerce and serve
terms of not more than four consecutive years. The membership reflects
the Department's commitment to attaining balance and diversity. TAC
members must obtain secret-level clearances prior to appointment. These
clearances are necessary so that members can be permitted access to
relevant classified information needed in formulating recommendations
to the Department of Commerce. Each TAC meets approximately 4 times per
year. Members of the TACs will not be compensated for their services.
    Three TACs are currently seeking to fill membership vacancies.

Commerce are the following: the Materials TAC--Control List Category 1
