71418 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 225 / Tuesday, November 23, 2010 / Notices 

2012. The member will be selected, in 

accordance with applicable Department 

of Commerce guidelines, based on his or 

her ability to advise the Secretary of 

Commerce on matters relating to the 

U.S. manufacturing sector, to act as a 

liaison among the stakeholders 

represented by the membership and to 

provide a forum for those stakeholders 

on current and emerging issues in the 

manufacturing sector. The Council’s 

membership shall reflect the diversity of 

American manufacturing by 

representing a balanced cross-section of 

the U.S. manufacturing industry in 

terms of industry sectors, geographic 

locations, demographics, and company 

size, particularly seeking the 

representation of small- and mediumsized enterprises. Based on the diversity 

of the manufacturing industry currently 

represented on the Council for this 

charter term, the Department 

particularly is encouraging applicants 

from the high-tech or bio-tech 

manufacturing sectors. Additional 

factors which may be considered in the 

selection of this Council member 

includes the candidate’s proven 

experience in promoting, developing 

and marketing programs in support of 

manufacturing industries, job creation 

in the manufacturing sector, or the 

candidate’s proven abilities to manage 

manufacturing organizations. Given the 

duties and objectives of the Council, the 

Department particularly seeks 

applicants who are active 

manufacturing executives (Chief 

Executive Officer, President, or a 

comparable level of responsibility) that 

are leaders within their local 

manufacturing communities and 

industries. 

Each Council member serves as the 

representative of a U.S. entity in the 

manufacturing sector. For the purposes 

of eligibility, a U.S. entity is defined as 

a firm incorporated in the United States 

(or an unincorporated firm with its 

principal place of business in the 

United States) that is controlled by U.S. 

citizens or by another U.S. entity. An 

entity is not a U.S. entity if 50 percent 

plus one share of its stock (if a 

corporation, or a similar ownership 

interest of an unincorporated entity) is 

controlled, directly or indirectly, by 

non-U.S. citizens or non-U.S. entities. 

The appointment to the Council will 

be made by the Secretary of Commerce. 

All Council members serve at the 

discretion of the Secretary of Commerce. 

Council members shall serve in a 

representative capacity, representing the 

views and interests of their particular 

subsector within the manufacturing 

sector. Council members are not Special 

Government Employees. 

Council members receive no 

compensation for their participation in 

Council activities. Members 

participating in Council meetings and 

events are responsible for their travel, 

living and other personal expenses. 

Meetings are held regularly and not less 

than annually, usually in Washington, 

DC. Members are required to attend a 

majority of the Council’s meetings. The 

current Council met initially on October 

14, 2010 in Washington, DC. The next 

meeting is scheduled to take place in 

January 2011. 

To be considered for membership, 

please provide the following: 

1. Name and title of the individual 

requesting consideration. A sponsor 

letter from the applicant on his or her 

entity’s letterhead or, if the applicant is 

to represent an entity other than his or 

her employer, a letter from the entity to

be considered for membership on the 

Council. This sponsor letter should also 

address the applicant’s manufacturingrelated experience, including any

affirmative statement that the applicant 

meets all eligibility criteria. 

2. An affirmative statement that the

An affirmative statement that the

lobbyist, and that the applicant 

understands that, if appointed, the 

applicant will not be allowed to 

continue to serve as a Council member 

if the applicant becomes a federally 

registered lobbyist. Information 

regarding the control of the entity to be 

represented, including the governing 

structure and stock holdings, as 

appropriate, signifying compliance with 

the criteria set forth above. 

3. The entity’s size and ownership,
