SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Committee was established under the 
discretionary authority of the Secretary of Commerce and in accordance 
with the Federal Advisory Committee Act (5 U.S.C. App. 2). It provides 
advice to the Secretary of Commerce on the necessary elements of a 
comprehensive policy approach to supply chain competitiveness designed 
to support U.S. export growth and national economic competitiveness, 
encourage innovation, facilitate the movement of goods, and improve the 
competitiveness of U.S. supply chains for goods and services in the 
domestic and global economy; and provides advice to the Secretary on 
regulatory policies and programs and investment priorities that affect 
the competitiveness of U.S. supply chains. For more information about 
the Committee visit: https://www.trade.gov/acscc.
    Matters to be Considered: Committee members are expected to 
deliberate and vote on Committee-drafted letters outlining priority 
recommendations to the Secretary of Commerce that have been raised at 
the previous Committee meetings, including recommendations on supply 
chain resilience and congestion, workforce development in the trucking 
industry, data requirements for internal U.S. shipments, and 
digitalization of supply chains. These letters will highlight the 
important issues that the Committee recommends that the Secretary of 
Commerce consider to improve the competitiveness of U.S. supply chains, 
facilitate new job growth within the United States, and increase U.S. 
exports. The Committee's subcommittees will report on the status of 
their work regarding these topics. The agenda may change to accommodate 
other Committee business.
    The Office of Supply Chain, Professional & Business Services will 
post the final agenda on the Committee website https://www.trade.gov/acscc at least one week prior to the meeting. The WebEx and conference 
line will be open to the public for comments on a first-come, first-
served basis. Access lines are limited. The minutes of the meetings and 
any recommendations adopted by the Committee will be posted on the 
Committee website within 60 days of the meeting.
