SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Introduction 

The APAC and the ATACs are 

authorized by sections 135(c)(1) and (2) 

of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended 

(Pub. L. 93–618, 19 U.S.C. 2155). The 

purpose of these committees is to advise 

the Secretary and USTR concerning 

agricultural trade policy. The 

committees are intended to ensure that 

representative elements of the private 

sector have an opportunity to express 

their views to the U.S. government. 

Rechartering of Existing Committees 

Pursuant to the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act (5 U.S.C. App. II), FAS 

gives notice that the Secretary and 

USTR intend to reestablish the APAC 

and the following six ATACs: 

• Animals and Animal Products; 

• Fruits and Vegetables; 

• Grains, Feed, Oilseeds and Planting 

Seeds; 

• Processed Foods; 

• Sweeteners and Sweetener 

Products; and, 

• Tobacco, Cotton and Peanuts. 

In 1974, Congress established a 

private sector advisory committee 

system to ensure that U.S. trade policy 

and negotiation objectives adequately 

reflect U.S. commercial and economic 

interests. The private sector advisory 

committee system currently consists of 

three tiers: 

• The President’s Advisory 

Committee on Trade and Policy 

Negotiations; 

• Five general policy advisory 

committees, including the APAC; and, 

• Twenty-two technical advisory 

committees, including the ATACs. 

The establishment and renewal of 

such committees is in the public interest 

in connection with the duties of the 

USDA imposed by the Trade Act of 

1974, as amended. 

Committee Membership Information 

• All committee members are 

appointed by the Secretary and USTR, 

and serve at the discretion of the 

Secretary and the USTR. 

• Committee size will be limited up 

to approximately 35 members each. 

• All committee appointments will 

expire in 4 years, but the Secretary and 

USTR may renew an appointment for 

one or more additional terms. 

• All committee members must be 

U.S. citizens and must represent a U.S. 

entity with an interest in agricultural 

trade, and must not be registered with 

the Department of Justice under the 

Foreign Agents Registration Act. 

• Committee members must not be 

federally-registered lobbyists. 

• To attend certain meetings, 

committee members must have a current 

security clearance or have submitted an 

application for a security clearance. 

• Committee members serve without 

compensation; they are not reimbursed 

for their travel expenses. 

• No person may serve on more than 

one USDA advisory committee at the 

same time. 

General Committee Information 

• Each committee has a chairperson, 

who is elected from the membership of 

that committee. 

• Committees meet as needed, and all 

committee meetings are held in 

Washington, DC. 

• Committee meetings may be closed 

if USTR determines that a committee 

will be discussing issues that justify 

closing a meeting or portions of a 

meeting, in accordance with 19 U.S.C. 

2155(f). 

• Throughout the year, members are 

requested to review sensitive trade 

policy information via a secure Web 

site, and provide comments regarding 

trade negotiations. 

• In addition to their other advisory 

responsibilities, at the conclusion of 

negotiations of any trade agreement, all 

committees are required to provide a 

report on each agreement to the 

President, Congress, and USTR. 

Agricultural Policy Advisory 

Committee for Trade 

The APAC is composed of a broad 

spectrum of agricultural interests. The 

APAC provides advice concerning the 

following: 

• Negotiating objectives and 

bargaining positions before the United 

States enters into a trade agreement; 

• The operation of various U.S. trade 

agreements; and 

• Other matters arising from the 

administration of U.S. trade policy. 

Agricultural Technical Advisory 

Committees for Trade 

The ATACs provide advice and 

information regarding trade issues that 

affect both domestic and foreign 

production in the commodities of the 

respective sector, drawing upon the 

technical competence and experience of 

the members. There will be six ATACs, 

one for each of the following sectors: 

• Animals and Animal Products; 

• Fruits and Vegetables; 

• Grains, Feed, Oilseeds and Planting 

Seeds; 

• Processed Foods; 

• Sweeteners and Sweetener 

Products; and 

• Tobacco, Cotton and Peanuts. 

Nominations and Appointment of 

Members 

Nominations for APAC and ATAC 

membership are open to individuals 

representing U.S. entities with an 

interest in agricultural trade without 

regard to race, color, religion, sex, 

national origin, age, mental or physical 

handicap, marital status, or sexual 

orientation. To ensure that the 

recommendations of the committees 

take into account the needs of the 

diverse groups served by USDA, 

membership shall include, to the extent 

practicable, individuals with 

demonstrated ability to represent 

minorities, women, and persons with 

disabilities. 

Members must represent a U.S. entity 

with an interest in agricultural trade and

should have expertise and knowledge of 

agricultural trade as it relates to policy 

and commodity specific products. No 

person, company, producer, farm 

organization, trade association, or other 

entity has a right to membership on a 

committee. In making appointments, 

every effort will be made to maintain 

balanced representation on the 

committees: Representation from 

producers, farm and commodity 

organizations, processors, traders, and 

consumers. Geographical balance on 

each committee will also be sought. 

Nominations: Nominating a person to 

serve on any of the committees requires 

submission of a current re ́sume ́ for the 

nominee and the following form: AD–

Federally Registered Lobbyists: In 

order to be considered for advisory 

committee membership, nominees 

should submit an affirmative statement 

that the applicant is not a federally 

registered lobbyist, and that the 

applicant understands that if appointed, 

the applicant will not be allowed to 

continue to serve as an advisory 

committee member if the applicant

employed by firms that are 50 percent 

plus one share foreign-owned must state 

the extent to which the organization or

non-U.S. ownership, the nominee must 

demonstrate at the time of nomination 

that this ownership interest does not

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Correction 

On October 7, 2010, the Department 

of Commerce (the Department) 

published in the Federal Register the 

following notice: Certain Stainless Steel 

Sheet and Strip in Coils From Germany, 

Japan, the Republic of Korea, and 

Taiwan: Final Results of the Expedited 

Second Sunset Reviews of the 

Antidumping Duty Orders, 75 FR 62014 

(Oct. 7, 2010) (Final Sunset Notice). 

After the publication of this notice in 

the Federal Register, we identified an 

inadvertent error in the Final Sunset 

Notice. The Department made an error 

in the ‘‘Final Results of Reviews’’ section 

of the notice by inadvertently including 

an incorrect weighted-average margin 

for the South Korean respondent Pohang 

Iron & Steel Co., Ltd. (POSCO), as well 

as the ‘‘all others’’ rate for South Korea. 

Specifically, the weighted-average 

margin for POSCO and the ‘‘all others’’ 

rate for South Korea, listed as 16.26 

percent, should have been listed as 6.08 

percent pursuant to implementation of 

the findings of the World Trade 

Organization Panel in United States— 

Anti-Dumping Measures on Stainless 

Steel Plate in Coils and Stainless Steel
