rules, policies, and procedures 

regarding its legal, governance, risk 

management, and operating framework, 

accurate in all material respects at the 

time of publication; and (v) updating the 

public disclosure every two years, or 

more frequently following changes to its 

system or the environment in which it 

operates to the extent necessary to 

ensure statements previously provided 

remain accurate in all material respects. 

The Governance Playbook contains 

procedures regarding required 

disclosures to ensure that ICC publicly 

discloses relevant rules and material 

procedures. The proposed changes 

assign responsibility, reference 

applicable regulations, and include 

additional information and procedures 

regarding maintaining and updating the 

Disclosure Framework in accordance 

with relevant regulations. Such changes 

would ensure that the Disclosure 

Framework is updated accordingly and 

remains accurate in all material respects 

in compliance with applicable 

regulatory requirements. Therefore, ICC 

believes the proposed rule change is 

consistent with the requirements of Rule 

17ad–22(e)(23).13

(B) Clearing Agency’s Statement on 

Burden on Competition 

ICC does not believe the proposed 

rule change would have any impact, or 

impose any burden, on competition. 

The proposed changes to the 

Governance Playbook will apply 

uniformly across all market participants. 

The changes consist of clarifications and 

updates regarding the roles and 

responsibilities of Legal and internal 

committees involved in the governance 

process to promote clarity, consistency, 

and completeness in respect of the 

information provided in the Governance 

Playbook. Moreover, ICC does not 

believe these amendments would affect 

the costs of clearing or the ability of 

market participants to access clearing. 

Therefore, ICC does not believe the 

proposed rule change would impose any 

burden on competition that is 

inappropriate in furtherance of the 

purposes of the Act. 

(C) Clearing Agency’s Statement on 

Comments on the Proposed Rule 

Change, From Members, Participants or 

Others 

Written comments relating to the 

proposed rule change have not been 

solicited or received. ICC will notify the 

Commission of any written comments 

received by ICC. 

III. Date of Effectiveness of the 

Proposed Rule Change and Timing for 

Commission Action 

Within 45 days of the date of 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register or within such longer period 

up to 90 days (i) as the Commission may 

designate if it finds such longer period 

to be appropriate and publishes its 

reasons for so finding or (ii) as to which 

the self-regulatory organization 

consents, the Commission will: 

(A) By order approve or disapprove 

such proposed rule change, or 

(B) institute proceedings to determine 

whether the proposed rule change 

should be disapproved. 

IV. Solicitation of Comments 

Interested persons are invited to 

submit written data, views, and 

arguments concerning the foregoing, 

including whether the proposed rule 

change is consistent with the Act.

implementation of existing trade 

agreements affecting industry sectors,

States Trade Representative at

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, including 

representatives of industry, labor, 

agriculture, and services, including 

small business, in the sector or 

functional area concerned, to 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. 

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. 

II. What do the ITACs do? 

The ITACs provide detailed policy 

and technical advice, information, and 

recommendations to the Secretary and 

the U.S. Trade Representative on trade 

policy matters including: 

• Negotiating objectives and 

bargaining positions before entering into 

trade agreements. The impact of the 

implementation of trade agreements on 

the relevant sector. 

• Matters concerning the operation of 

any trade agreement once entered into. 

• 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. Twelve ITACs (ITACS 1–12) 

provide advice and information on 

issues that affect specific sectors of U.S. 

industry. Three ITACs (ITACs 13–15) 

focus 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. 

The ITACs may address other trade 

policy issues, e.g., government 

procurement and subsidies, in ad hoc 

working groups. 

III. What is the ITAC slate for 2022– 

2026? 

When the U.S. Trade Representative 

and the Secretary organize the ITACs, 

the Trade Act requires that they consult 

with interested private organizations 

and consider: 

• Patterns of actual or potential 

competition between U.S. industry and 

agriculture and foreign enterprise in 

international trade. 

• The character of the nontariff 

barriers and other distortions affecting 

such competition. 

• The necessity for reasonable limits 

on the number and size of the ITACs. 

• That the product lines covered by 

each ITAC are reasonably related. 

The Office of the U.S. Trade 

Representative and the U.S. Department 

of Commerce requested comments on 

proposed changes to the slate of ITACs 

(86 FR 72303) and received 13 written 

submissions in response. A majority of 

the responses substantially supported 

separating the current ITAC 5 into two 

separate ITACs and re-establishing the 

Committee of Chairs. We have carefully 

considered these submissions and other 

factors including 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 2018–2022 

charter terms), the level of activity of 

each ITAC (using the number of 

meetings and recommendations 

submitted during the 2018–2022 charter 

terms), and constraints on the resources 

to support and engage with the ITACs. 

Based on all of this information,
