assists the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) and other Federal 
officials and agencies with respect to actions designed to carry out 
the policy set forth in section 1752(1)(A) of the Export Control Reform

2. Opening remarks by the Bureau of Industry and Security

Closed Session

    7. Discussion of matters determined to be exempt from the open 
meeting and public participation requirements found in sections 
1009(a)(1) and 1009(a)(3) of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) 
(5 U.S.C. 1001-1014). The exemption is authorized by section 1009(d) of 
the FACA, which permits the closure of advisory committee meetings, or 
portions thereof, if the head of the agency to which the advisory 
committee reports determines such meetings may be closed to the public 
in accordance with subsection (c) of the Government in the Sunshine Act 
(5 U.S.C. 552b(c)). In this case, the applicable provisions of 5 U.S.C. 
552b(c) are subsection 552b(c)(4), which permits closure to protect 
trade secrets and commercial or financial information that is 
privileged or confidential, and subsection 552b(c)(9)(B), which permits 
closure to protect information that would be likely to significantly 
frustrate implementation of a proposed agency action were it to be 
disclosed prematurely. The closed session of the meeting will involve 
committee discussions and guidance regarding U.S. Government strategies 
and policies.
    The open session will be accessible via teleconference. To join the 
conference, submit inquiries to Ms. Yvette Springer at
