DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

International Trade Administration 

Renewal of the Renewable Energy and 

Energy Efficiency Advisory Committee 

and Solicitation of Nominations for 

Membership 

AGENCY: International Trade 

Administration, U.S. Department of 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice of renewal of the 

Renewable Energy and Energy 

Efficiency Advisory Committee and 

solicitation of nominations for 

membership. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to provisions of the 

Federal Advisory Committee Act, the 

Department of Commerce announces the 

renewal of the Renewable Energy and 

Energy Efficiency Advisory Committee 

(the Committee). The Committee shall 

advise the Secretary of Commerce 

regarding the development and 

administration of programs and policies 

to expand the competitiveness of U.S. 

exports of renewable energy and energy 

efficiency goods and services. The 

Committee’s work on renewable energy 

will focus on technologies, equipment, 

and services to generate electricity, 

produce heat, and power vehicles from 

renewable sources such as solar, wind, 

biomass, hydropower, geothermal, and 

hydrogen. The Committee’s work on 

energy efficiency will focus on 

technologies, services, and platforms 

that provide system-level energy 

efficiency to electricity generation, 

transmission, and distribution. These 

include smart grid technologies and 

services, as well as equipment and 

systems that increase the resiliency of 

power infrastructure such as energy 

storage. Climate solutions in the energy 

sector, such as low-carbon hydrogen 

production, clean energy transportation, 

and virtual power plants are also within 

the scope of the Committee. For the 

purposes of this Committee, covered 

goods and services will not include 

vehicles, feedstock for biofuels, or 

energy efficiency as it relates to 

consumer goods or buildings. Non-fossil 

fuels that reduce carbon consumption 

(e.g., liquid biofuels and pellets) are 

included. This notice also requests 

nominations for membership. 

DATES: Nominations for members must 

be received on or before 5 p.m. Eastern 

Daylight Time (EDT) on July 22, 2022. 

ADDRESSES: Nominations may be 

emailed to Cora.Dickson@trade.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Committee shall consist of 

approximately 35 members appointed 

by the Secretary in accordance with 

applicable Department of Commerce 

guidance and based on their ability to 

carry out the objectives of the 

Committee. Members shall represent 

U.S. companies, U.S. trade associations, 

U.S. private sector organizations, and 

civil society groups with activities 

focused on the export competitiveness 

of U.S. renewable energy and energy 

efficiency goods and services. The 

Committee shall also represent the range 

of company or organizational roles in 

the development of renewable energy 

and energy efficiency projects, 

including, for example, project 

developers, technology integrators, 

financial institutions, and 

manufacturers. Members of the 

Committee are selected, in accordance 

with applicable Department of 

Commerce guidelines, based on their 

ability to carry out the objectives of the 

Committee as set forth in the Charter 

and in a manner that ensures that the 

Committee is balanced in terms of 

points of view, industry subsector, 

geography, and company size. The 

diverse membership of the Committee 

assures perspectives reflecting the full 

breadth of the Committee’s 

responsibilities, and, where possible, 

the Department of Commerce will also 

consider the ethnic, racial, and gender 

diversity and various abilities of the 

United States population. 

Members serve at the pleasure of the 

Secretary from the date of appointment 

to the Committee to the date on which 

the Committee’s charter terminates. 

Members serve in a representative 

capacity presenting the views and 

interests of a U.S. entity or U.S. 

organization, as well as their particular 

subsector; they are, therefore, not 

Special Government Employees. 

Members of the Committee must not 

be registered as foreign agents under the 

Foreign Agents Registration Act. No 

member may represent a company that 

is majority owned or controlled by a 

foreign government entity (or foreign 

government entities). Members of the 

Committee will not be compensated for 

their services or reimbursed for their 

travel expenses. 

If you are interested in applying or
