PROPOSED MISSION TIMETABLE—Continued 

Date Day Activity 

• Depart for Vienna and DC. 

Note: The final schedule and potential site visits will depend on the availability of local government and business officials, specific goals of 

mission participants, and air travel schedules. 

Participation Requirements 

All persons interested in participating 

in the Civil Nuclear Policy Mission 

must complete and submit an 

application for consideration by the 

Department of Commerce. All 

applicants will be evaluated on their 

ability to meet certain conditions and 

best satisfy the selection criteria as 

outlined below. Approximately 8 to 12 

companies will be selected to 

participate in the mission from the 

applicant pool. U.S. companies already 

doing business in the region as well as 

U.S. companies seeking to enter the 

region for the first time are encouraged 

to apply. 

Fees and Expenses 

After a company or trade organization 

has been selected to participate in the 

mission, a payment to the Department of 

Commerce in the form of a participation 

fee is required. The participation fee, 

which will cover one representative, 

will be $4,500.00 for large firms and 

$3,000.00 for a small or medium-sized 

enterprise (SME) 1 or non-government 

organization.2 The fee for each 

additional firm representative is $600. 

Expenses for travel, lodging, most 

meals, and incidentals will be the 

responsibility of each mission 

participant. 

Conditions for Participation 

• An applicant must submit a 

completed and signed mission 

application and supplemental 

application materials, including 

adequate information on the company’s 

products and/or services, primary 

market objectives, and goals for 

participation. If the U.S. Department of 

Commerce receives an incomplete 

application, the Department may reject 

the application, request additional 

information, or take the lack of 

information into account when 

evaluating. 

• Certify that the products and 

services the export of which it seeks to 

promote through the mission are either 

produced in the United States, or, if not, 

marketed under the name of a U.S. firm 

and have at least fifty-one percent U.S. 

content. Because of the unique nature of 

the energy sector targeted by this 

mission, in cases where the U.S. content 

does not exceed fifty percent, especially 

where the applicant intends to pursue 

investment and major project 

opportunities, the following factors, 

often associated with U.S. ownership, 

may be considered in determining 

whether the applicant’s participation in 

the trade mission is in the U.S. national 

interest: 

—U.S. materials and equipment content; 

—U.S. labor content; 

—Repatriation of profits to the U.S. 

economy; and/or 

—Potential for follow-on business that 

would benefit the U.S. economy; 

• No applicant may represent a 

company that is majority owned or 

controlled by a foreign government 

entity or entities. 

Selection Criteria for Participation 

Selection will be based on the 

following criteria: 

• Suitability of the company’s 

products or services; 

• Applicant’s potential for business 

in Poland, Czech Republic and Slovakia, 

including likelihood of exports resulting 

from the mission; and 

• Consistency of the applicant’s goals 

and objectives with the stated scope of 

the mission. 

Referrals from political organizations 

and any documents containing 

references to partisan political activities 

(including political contributions) will 

be removed from an applicant’s 

submission and not considered during 

the selection process. 

Timeframe for Recruitment and 

Applications 

Mission recruitment will be 

conducted in an open and public 

manner, including publication in the 

Federal Register, posting on the 

Commerce Department trade mission 

calendar (http://www.ita.doc.gov/ 

doctm/tmcal.html) and other Internet 

Web sites, press releases to general and 

trade media, direct mail, notices by 

industry trade associations and other 

multiplier groups, and publicity at 

industry meetings, symposia, 

conferences, and trade shows. 

Recruitment for the mission will 

begin immediately and conclude no 

later than Monday, March 15, 2010. The 

U.S. Department of Commerce will 

review all applications after the 

deadline. We will inform applicants of 

selection decisions after March 15, 

2010. Applications received after the
