**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  Background

Section 135 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2155), directs the President to obtain information and advice from representative elements of the private sector and the non-Federal government sector regarding U.S. trade policy and trade negotiation objectives. Among other mechanisms, Section 135(c)(1) of the Trade Act of 1974 provides that:

(1) The President may establish individual general policy advisory committees for industry, labor, agriculture, services, investment, defense, and other interests, as appropriate, to provide general policy advice on matters referred to in subsection (a) of this section.

The President has delegated authority to the USTR to appoint policy advisory committees (‘‘Tier 2’’).

Section 135(c)(1) of the Trade Act of 1974 calls for each general policy advisory committee ‘‘insofar as is practicable,’’ ‘‘[to] be representative of all industry, labor, agricultural, service, investment, defense, and other interests . . . including small business interests.’’

Section 135(f) of the Trade Act of 1974 provides, in relevant part that, ‘‘the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act apply . . . (2) to all . . . advisory committees which may be established under subsection (c) of this section.’’ The Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) (5 U.S.C. 1–14) requires that legislation establishing or authorizing the establishment of an advisory committee ‘‘require the membership of the advisory committee to be fairly balanced in terms of the points of view represented and the functions to be performed by the advisory committee’’ (5 U.S.C. 5).

With the creation of the Public Interest Trade Advisory Committee, a new forum for discussions on public interest aspects of trade issues will be available. The objectives and scope of activities of the Public Interest Trade Advisory Committee include, but are not limited to:

(1) Providing the U.S. Trade Representative with policy advice on issues including but not limited to, public health, international development, and consumer protection.

(2) Providing the President, the USTR, and Congress with reports on trade agreements, following their conclusions, which include an advisory opinion on whether and to what extent the agreement promotes the interests of the United States. Request for Comments

USTR solicits comments on the objectives and scope of activities for the Public Interest Advisory Committee, including comments on: the appropriate scope of viewpoints to be represented in such a committee to ensure the committee is fairly balanced; how included viewpoints would improve the quality of information and advice provided to USTR; how included viewpoints would add value and contribute to the Committee’s mission to provide general trade policy advice; any additional objectives or activities; modifications to aforementioned objectives, activities or viewpoints; and any other pertinent insights.
