BILLING CODE 7040–01–P 

OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES 

TRADE REPRESENTATIVE 

Notice of Continuation and Request for 

Nominations for the Trade Advisory 

Committee on Africa 

AGENCY: Office of the United States 

Trade Representative. 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

applications. 

SUMMARY: The Office of the United 

States Trade Representative (USTR) is 

establishing a new four-year charter 

term and accepting applications from 

qualified individuals interested in 

serving as a member of the Trade 

Advisory Committee on Africa (TACA). 

The TACA is a trade advisory 

committee that provides general policy 

advice and guidance to the U.S. Trade 

Representative on trade policy and 

development matters that have a 

significant impact on the countries of 

sub-Saharan Africa. 

DATES: USTR will accept nominations 

on a rolling basis for membership on the 

TACA for the four-year charter term 

beginning in March 2022. To ensure 

consideration before the new charter 

term, you should submit your 

application by February 4, 2022. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Ethan Holmes, Director for Private 

Sector Engagement, Ethan.M.Holmes@

ustr.eop.gov, or Bennett Harman, 

Deputy Assistant U.S. Trade 

Representative for Africa, BHarman@

ustr.eop.gov or 202–395–9612. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

1. Background 

Section 135(c)(1) of the Trade Act of 

1974, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2155(c)(1)), 

authorizes the President to establish 

individual general trade policy advisory 

committees for industry, labor, 

agriculture, services, investment, 

defense, small business, and other 

interests, as appropriate, to provide 

general policy advice. The President 

delegated that authority to the U.S. 

Trade Representative in Executive Order 

11846, section 4(d), issued on March 27, 

1975. In addition, section 14 of the 

AGOA Acceleration Act of 2004, Public 

Law 108–274, 118 Stat. 829–830 

(codified at 19 U.S.C. 3701 note) 

specifically acknowledges the TACA, 

which USTR established under these 

authorities. With limited statutory 

exceptions, the TACA is subject to the 

provisions of the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act. 

Pursuant to these authorities, the U.S. 

Trade Representative intends to 

establish a new four-year charter term 

for the TACA, which will begin in 

March 2022. 

The TACA is a discretionary trade 

advisory committee established to 

provide general policy advice to the 

U.S. Trade Representative on trade 

policy and development matters that 

have a significant impact on the 

countries of sub-Saharan Africa. More 

specifically, the TACA provides general 

policy advice on issues that may affect 

the countries of sub-Saharan Africa 

including: (1) Negotiating objectives and 

bargaining positions before entering into 

trade agreements; (2) the impact of the 

implementation of trade agreements; (3) 

matters concerning the operation of any 

trade agreement once entered into; and 

(4) other matters arising in connection 

with the development, implementation, 

and administration of the trade policy of 

the United States. The TACA also 

facilitates the goals and objectives of the 

African Growth and Opportunity Act 

(AGOA) and assists in maintaining 

ongoing discussions with sub-Saharan 

African trade and agriculture ministries 

and private sector organizations on 

issues of mutual concern, including 

regional and international trade 

concerns and World Trade Organization 

issues. The TACA meets as needed, at 

the call of the U.S. Trade Representative 

or their designee, or two-thirds of the 

TACA members, depending on various 

factors such as the level of activity of 

trade negotiations and the needs of the 

U.S. Trade Representative. 

II. Membership 

The TACA is composed of not more 

than 30 members who have expertise in 

general trade, investment and 

development issues and specific 

knowledge of United States-Africa trade 

and investment trends including trade 

under the AGOA; constraints to trade 

and investment (including 

infrastructure, energy and financing); 

trade facilitation measures; sanitary and 

phyto-sanitary measures and technical 

barriers to trade; trade capacity 

building; investment treaty negotiations; 

United States-Africa investment and 

private sector partnerships; and 

implementation of World Trade 

Organization agreements. Members may 

represent industry, organized labor, 

investment, agriculture, services, nonprofit development organizations, 

academia, and small business. Fostering 

diversity, equity, inclusion and 

accessibility (DEIA) is one of the top 

priorities. 

The U.S. Trade Representative 

appoints TACA members for a term that 

will not exceed the duration of this 

charter. Members serve at the discretion 

of the U.S. Trade Representative. 

Individuals can be reappointed for any 

number of terms. 

The U.S. Trade Representative is 

committed to a trade agenda that 

advances racial equity and supports 

underserved communities and will seek 

advice and recommendations on trade 

policies that eliminate social and 

economic structural barriers to equality 

and economic opportunity, and to better 

understand the projected impact of 

proposed trade policies on communities 

of color and underserved communities. 

The U.S. Trade Representative strongly 

encourages diverse backgrounds and 

perspectives and makes appointments to 

the TACA without regard to political 

affiliation and in accordance with equal 

opportunity practices that promote 

diversity, equity, inclusion, and 

accessibility. USTR strives to ensure 

balance in terms of sectors, 

demographics, and other factors 

relevant to USTR’s needs. Insofar as 

practicable, TACA membership will 

reflect regional diversity and be broadly 

representative of key sectors and groups 

of the economy with an interest in trade 

and sub-Saharan Africa issues, 

including U.S. citizens who are diaspora 

African and U.S. citizens of African 

descent with requisite knowledge and 

experience. 

TACA members serve without either 

compensation or reimbursement of 

expenses. Members are responsible for 

all expenses they incur to attend 

meetings or otherwise participate in 

TACA activities. 

The U.S. Trade Representative 

appoints TACA members to represent 

their sponsoring U.S. entity’s interests 

on sub-Saharan Africa trade, and thus 

USTR’s foremost consideration for 

applicants is their ability to carry out 

the goals of section 135(c) of the Trade 

Act of 1974, as amended. Other criteria 

include the applicant’s knowledge of 

and expertise in international trade 

issues as relevant to the work of the 

TACA and USTR. USTR anticipates that 

almost all TACA members will serve in 

a representative capacity with a very 

limited number serving in an individual 

capacity as a subject matter expert. 

These members, known as special 

government employees or SGEs, are 

subject to conflict of interest rules and 

may have to complete a financial 

disclosure report.
