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.
