SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Background: The Secretary of Commerce established the RE&EEAC 
pursuant to his discretionary authority and in accordance with the 
Federal Advisory Committee Act (5 U.S.C. App.) on July 14, 2010. The 
RE&EEAC was re-chartered on June 12, 2014. The RE&EEAC provides the 
Secretary of Commerce with consensus advice from the private sector on 
the development and administration of programs and policies to enhance 
the international competitiveness of the U.S. renewable energy and 
energy efficiency industries.
    During the December 17th meeting of the RE&EEAC, committee members 
will discuss key objectives and the types of issues they plan to 
address during the course of the Committee's two-year charter. Previous 
recommendations were developed by the previous Committee on finance, 
U.S. competitiveness, trade policy, and trade promotion.
    A limited amount of time, from approximately 3:30 p.m. to 3:45 
p.m., will be available for pertinent oral comments from members of the 
public attending the meeting. To accommodate as many speakers as 
possible, the time for public comments will be limited to five minutes 
per person. Individuals wishing to reserve additional speaking time 
during the meeting must contact Mr. Bennett and submit a brief 
statement of the general nature of the comments, as well as the name 
and address of the proposed participant by 5:00 p.m. EST on Wednesday, 
December 10, 2014. If the number of registrants requesting to make 
statements is greater than can be reasonably accommodated during the 
meeting, the International Trade Administration may conduct a lottery 
to determine the speakers. Speakers are requested to bring at least 20 
copies of their oral comments for distribution to the participants and 
the public at the meeting.
    Any member of the public may submit pertinent written comments 
concerning the RE&EEAC's affairs at any time before or after the 
meeting. Comments may be submitted to the Renewable Energy and Energy 
Efficiency Advisory Committee, c/o: Andrew Bennett, Office of Energy 
and Environmental Industries, U.S. Department of Commerce, Mail Stop: 
4053, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20230. To be 
considered during the meeting, written comments must be received no 
later than 5:00 p.m. EST on Wednesday, December 10, 2014, to ensure 
transmission to the Committee prior to the meeting. Comments received 
after that date will be distributed to the members but may not be 
considered at the meeting.
    Copies of RE&EEAC meeting minutes will be available within 30 days 
following the meeting.
