SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Background: The CINTAC was established under the discretionary 
authority of the Secretary of Commerce and in accordance with the 
Federal Advisory Committee Act, as amended (5 U.S.C. App.), in response 
to an identified need for consensus advice from U.S. industry to the 
U.S. Government regarding the development and administration of 
programs to expand United States exports of civil nuclear goods and 
services in accordance with applicable U.S. laws and regulations, 
including advice on how U.S. civil nuclear goods and services export 
policies, programs, and activities will affect the U.S. civil nuclear 
industry's competitiveness and ability to participate in the 
international market.
    The Department of Commerce renewed the CINTAC charter on August 5, 
2020. This meeting is being convened under the seventh charter of the 
CINTAC.
    Topics to be considered: The agenda for the CINTAC meeting on 
Thursday, April 21, 2022, is as follows:
    Closed Session (10:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m.)--Discussion of matters 
determined to be exempt from the provisions of the Federal Advisory 
Committee Act relating to public meetings found in 5 U.S.C. App. 
Sec. Sec.  (10)(a)(1) and 10(a)(3). The session will be closed to the 
public pursuant to Section 10(d) of FACA as amended by Section 5(c) of 
the Government in Sunshine Act, Public Law 94-409, and in accordance 
with Section 552b(c)(4) and Section 552b(c)(9)(B) of Title 5, United 
States Code, which authorize closure of meetings that are ``likely to 
disclose trade secrets and commercial or financial information obtained 
from a person and privileged or confidential'' and ``likely to 
significantly frustrate implementation of a proposed agency action,'' 
respectively. The part of the meeting that will be closed will address 
(1) nuclear cooperation agreements; (2) encouraging ratification of the 
Convention on Supplementary Compensation for Nuclear Damage; and (3) 
identification of specific trade barriers impacting the U.S. civil 
nuclear industry.
    Public Session (1:00 p.m.-3:00 p.m.)--Discuss work of the 
subcommittees, review of deliberative recommendations, and opportunity 
to hear from members of the public.
    Members of the public wishing to attend the public session of the 
meeting must notify Mr. Chesebro at the contact information above by 
5:00 p.m. EDT on Friday, April 15, 2022 in order to pre-register to 
participate. Please specify any requests for reasonable accommodation

of the public attending the meeting. To accommodate as many speakers as 
possible, the time for public comments will be limited to two (2)

CINTAC's affairs at any time before or after the meeting. Comments may
