Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 135 /Wednesday, July 15, 1998 / Notices 38155

highlight the benefits of exporting and

the impact of exports on the U.S.

economy. The exhibit, which represents

a series of industries and a variety of

companies, is located in the Office of

the Under Secretary for International

Trade. The exhibit will be rotated

approximately every four months. The

first sector selected was the motor

vehicles and automotive parts industry.

The second sector to be displayed is

the energy sector. Companies and trade

associations in this sector are

encouraged to express interest in

showcasing their exports of goods and/

or services by contacting ITA through

the individual listed above. Displayed

items may include illustrations,

miniaturized or actual models, or actual

products. Examples of appropriate

displays would include models or

illustrations of drilling platforms or

refineries, oil and gas pipeline

equipment, geologic instrumentation

systems, power plants or electric

distribution lines that have been

constructed overseas and incorporate

substantial U.S. products and/or

services.

Selection Process

Items will be selected for exhibition

on the basis of the following factors:

(1) Items must be produced in, or

representative of services exported from,

the United States and have at least a

51% U.S. content, including materials,

equipment and labor (in the case of

large development projects, the

applicant should identify substantial

U.S. products or services into the

completed project). To highlight the

impact of exports on small businesses,

items will also be considered that are

produced by U.S. companies that do not

directly export but rather whose goods

or services are incorporated into another

company’s for export.

(2) The items must relate to the

industry selected by ITA and be suitable

for exhibition in a limited space.

(3) The company must not be owned

or controlled, indirectly or directly, by

a foreign government.

(4) Items chosen should reflect

diversity of company size, location,

demographics, and traditional underrepresentation in business.

Other conditions: Displayed items

will be considered loans to the

Department. Companies will be

responsible for shipment of the item to

and from the Commerce Department, for

obtaining appropriate insurance, and for

all related costs.

Time Frame for Applications:

Expressions of interest from the energy

sector should be received by August 17,

1998. Expressions of interest should be

sent to the ITA official identified above.

A Federal Register notice will be

published subsequently to announce the

next sector to be highlighted.

Authority:15 U.S.C. 1512.
