arising in connection with the 

development, implementation, and

is authorized by sections 135(c)(1) and

Manufacturing Council 

AGENCY: International Trade 

Administration, U.S. Department of 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice of Reopening of the 

Application Period for Membership on 

the Manufacturing Council. 

SUMMARY: On November 23, 2010, the 

Department of Commerce’s International 

Trade Administration published a 

notice in the Federal Register (75 FR 

71417) soliciting applications to fill one 

vacant position on the Manufacturing 

Council (Council). The November 23, 

2010 notice provided that all 

applications must be received by the 

Office of Advisory Committees of the 

Department of Commerce by close of 

business on December 7, 2010. This 

notice reopens the application period in 

order to provide the public with an 

additional opportunity to submit 

applications. The eligibility and 

evaluation criteria for selection of a 

member to fill the vacant position 

contained in the November 23, 2010 

notice shall continue to apply. The 

purpose of the Council is to advise the 

Secretary of Commerce on matters 

relating to the competitiveness of the 

U.S. manufacturing sector and to 

provide a forum for regular 

communication between Government 

and the manufacturing sector. 

ADDRESSES: Please submit application 

information to Jennifer Pilat, Office of 

Advisory Committees, Manufacturing 

Council Executive Secretariat, U.S. 

Department of Commerce, Room 4043, 

1401 Constitution Avenue, NW., 

Washington, DC 20230. 

DATES: All applications must be 

received by the Office of Advisory 

Committees by close of business on 

January 14, 2010. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Jennifer Pilat, Manufacturing Council 

Executive Secretariat, Room 4043, 1401

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Office 

of Advisory Committees is reopening 

the application period for one vacant 

position on the Council for the current 

two year charter term to expire April 8, 

2012. As the Department of Commerce 

did not receive any applications for this 

vacancy by the December 7th deadline, 

the Department is reopening the 

application period. The criteria and 

procedures for selecting the member 

contained in the November 23, 2010 

notice continue to apply and are 

republished herein for convenience. 

The member will be appointed to 

serve until the Council’s charter expires 

on April 8, 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 

reflects 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 medium-sized enterprises. 

Although applications from any 

manufacturing sector will be 

considered, 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 

include 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 serve in a 

representative capacity, representing the 

views and interests of their particular 

industry 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
