SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Emerging Technology and Research 

Advisory Committee (ETRAC) serves as 

a technical advisory committee to the 

Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) 

since September 2008. It operates under 

the terms of section 5(h) of the Export 

Administration Act of 1979, as amended 

(EAA), 50 U.S.C. 1701–1707 (2007), and 

the Federal Advisory Committee Act 

(FACA) (5 U.S.C. app. 2 (2005. ETRAC 

is an important vehicle for gathering 

necessary data as part of the 

Department’s efforts to ensure that 

export controls continue to apply to 

sensitive items and keep pace with 

technological and research innovation 

without stifling U.S. competitiveness. 

BIS’s decision to establish the ETRAC 

drew on three sources: Public comments 

submitted to BIS in 2007 regarding the 

Commerce Control List (CCL); the report 

issued by the Deemed Export Advisory 

Committee (DEAC), a Federal advisory 

committee charged with making 

recommendations to the Secretary 

regarding BIS’s deemed export policy; 

and a Presidential directive calling for 

BIS to regularly reassess and update the 

CCL.
