and invite interested parties to submit 

their view on these changes. 

DATES: The deadline for submission of 

written comments is February 5, 2018 at

Gregory M. Walters, Assistant United 

States Trade Representative for 

Intergovernmental Affairs and Public 

Engagement at Gregory.M.Walters@

ITACs on the International Trade 

Administration website at 

www.trade.gov/itac. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Section 135 of the Trade Act of 1974, 

as amended (19 U.S.C. 2155), 

establishes a private-sector trade 

advisory system to ensure that U.S. 

trade policy and trade negotiation 

objectives adequately reflect U.S. 

commercial and economic interests. 

Section 135(c)(2) (19 U.S.C. 2155(c)(2)) 

directs the President to establish 

sectoral or functional trade advisory 

committees as appropriate, comprised of 

representatives of all industry, labor, 

agricultural, and services interests 

(including small business interests) in 

the sector or functional area. These 

committees provide detailed policy and 

technical advice, information, and 

recommendations regarding trade 

barriers, negotiation of trade 

agreements, and implementation of 

existing trade agreements affecting 

industry sectors, and perform other 

advisory functions relevant to U.S. trade 

policy matters as requested. In 

organizing such committees, the Trade 

Representative and the relevant 

Secretary are to consult with interested 

private organizations and to consider 

‘‘(i) patterns of actual or potential 

competition between United States 

industry and agriculture and foreign 

enterprise in international trade, (ii) the 

character of the nontariff barriers and 

other distortions affecting such 

competition, (iii) the necessity for 

reasonable limits on the number of such 

advisory committees, (iv) the necessity 

that each committee be reasonably 

limited in size, and (v) in the case of 

each sectoral committee, that the 

product lines covered by each 

committee be reasonably related.’’ 

Pursuant to this authority, the 

Secretary and the Trade Representative 

established the ITACs to provide 

detailed policy and technical advice, 

information, and recommendations to 

the Secretary and the Trade 

Representative on trade policy matters 

including: (1) Negotiating objectives and 

bargaining positions before entering into 

trade agreements; (2) the impact of the 

implementation of trade agreements on 

the relevant sector; (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 nonpartisan, 

industry input provided by the ITACs is 

important in developing unified trade 

policy objectives and positions when 

the United States negotiates and 

implements trade agreements. The 

ITACs address market-access problems, 

trade barriers, tariffs, discriminatory 

foreign procurement practices, and 

information, marketing, and advocacy 

needs of their industry sector. With 


sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES
3254 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 15 / Tuesday, January 23, 2018 / Notices 

limited statutory exceptions, the ITACs 

are subject to the provisions of the 

Federal Advisory Committee Act. See 19 

U.S.C. 2155(f); 5 U.S.C. App. II. 

The current ITACs expire in February 

2018, and the Secretary and the Trade 

Representative intend to renew the 

ITACs as described below for a new 

four-year charter terms for the ITACs to 

begin in February 2018 and end in 

February 2022. 

For the 2014–2018 charter term, the 

Secretary and Trade Representative 

chartered: Thirteen sectoral ITACs 

advising on issues that affect specific 

sectors of U.S. industry; three ITACs 

advising on crosscutting, functional 

issues that affect all industry sectors and 

include specifically appointed members 

along with non-voting members from 

the industry specific ITACs to represent 

a broad range of industry perspectives; 

and a Committee of Chairs of the ITACs 

as follows: 

Industry Trade Advisory Committees 

on: 

(ITAC 1) Aerospace Equipment 

(ITAC 2) Automotive Equipment and 

Capital Goods 

(ITAC 3) Chemicals, Pharmaceuticals, 

Health/Science Products and Services 

(ITAC 4) Consumer Goods 

(ITAC 5) Distribution Services 

(ITAC 6) Energy and Energy Services 

(ITAC 7) Forest Products 

(ITAC 8) Information and 

Communications Technologies, 

Services, and Electronic Commerce 

(ITAC 9) Building Materials, 

Construction, and Nonferrous Metals 

(ITAC 10) Services and Finance 

Industries 

(ITAC 11) Small and Minority 

Business 

(ITAC 12) Steel 

(ITAC 13) Textiles and Clothing 

(ITAC 14) Customs Matters and Trade 

Facilitation 

(ITAC 15) Intellectual Property Rights 

(ITAC 16) Standards and Technical 

Trade Barriers and a Committee of 

Chairs of the Industry Trade Advisory 

Committees. 

For the 2018–2022 charter term, after 

considering the statutory factors listed 

above, the Secretary and the Trade 

Representative propose to streamline 

the ITACs as follows based on the 

nature of the U.S. industry in various 

sectors, the level of interest in serving 

on an ITAC (using the number of 

members and applications for 

appointment during the 2014–2018 

charter terms), the level of activity of 

each ITAC (using the number of 

meetings and recommendations 

submitted during the 2014–2018 charter 

terms), and constraints on the resources 

to support and engage with the ITACs. 

• Combining the current ITACs on 

Distribution Services and on Services 

and Finance Industries into one ITAC 

on Services. 

• Combining the current ITACs on 

Forest Products and on Building 

Materials, Construction, and Nonferrous 

Metals into one ITAC on Forest 

Products, Building Materials, 

Construction, and Nonferrous Metals. 

• Changing the name of the ITAC on 

Information and Communications 

Technologies, Services, and Electronic 

Commerce to the ITAC on Digital 

Economy to reflect the innovation in 

and full scope of that industry sector. 

• Discontinuing the Committee of 

Chairs of the ITACs to both preserve 

staff resources and to ensure that all 

ITAC members receive relevant, timely, 

and unfiltered information directly from 

appropriate government staff. 

This streamlining would result in 

eleven sectoral ITACs and three 

functional ITACs for the new four-year 

charter term as follows: 

Industry Trade Advisory Committees 

on: 

(ITAC 1) Aerospace Equipment 

(ITAC 2) Automotive Equipment and 

Capital Goods 

(ITAC 3) Chemicals, Pharmaceuticals, 

Health/Science Products and Services 

(ITAC 4) Consumer Goods 

(ITAC 5) Forest Products, Building 

Materials, Construction and 

Nonferrous Metals 

(ITAC 6) Energy and Energy Services 

(ITAC 7) Steel 

(ITAC 8) Digital Economy 

(ITAC 9) Small and Minority Business 

(ITAC 10) Services 

(ITAC 11) Textiles and Clothing 

(ITAC 12) Customs Matters and Trade 

Facilitation 

(ITAC 13) Intellectual Property Rights 

(ITAC 14) Standards and Technical 

Trade Barriers 

III. Request for Comments 

In accordance with Section 

135(c)(2)(A) (19 U.S.C. 2155(c)(2)) of 

the Trade Act, we invite written 

comments on the proposed changes to 

the slate of ITACs for the 2018–2022 

charter term.
