The group’s recommendations, which 

are to be developed within one year, 

will be advisory only, not mandatory, 

and will not have the force of guidelines 

or standards. 

The law also calls upon the National 

Council on Disability to conduct an 

informational and educational campaign 

in cooperation with the stakeholder 

working group to inform the public, 

including people with disabilities and 

pharmacists, of the best practices. The 

Government Accountability Office will 

undertake a review at a later date to 

assess the extent to which pharmacies 

are following the best practices and to 

what extent barriers to information on 

prescription drug container labels 

remain. 

The working group will hold its first 

meeting on January 10 and 11, 2013. 

The agenda for the meeting includes 

initial remarks, introduction of working 

group members, discussion of 

administrative issues, discussion of 

prescription label access needs of 

consumer members, discussion of 

current practices, discussion and review 

of evaluation criteria to use to determine 

best practices, hands-on demonstrations 

of recommended practices, evaluation of 

recommended practices, and discussion 

of next steps. The preliminary meeting 

agenda, along with information about 

the working group, is available at 

http://www.access-board.gov/news/ 

drug-labels-working-group.htm. 

Working group meetings are open to 

the public and interested persons can 

attend the meetings and communicate 

their views. Members of the public will 

have opportunities to address the 

working group on issues of interest to 

them during public comment periods 

scheduled on each day of the meeting. 

The meetings will be accessible to 

persons with disabilities. An assistive 

listening system, computer assisted realtime transcription (CART), and sign 

language interpreters will be provided. 

Persons attending the meetings are 

requested to refrain from using perfume, 

cologne, and other fragrances for the 

comfort of other participants (see 

www.access-board.gov/about/policies/ 

fragrance.htm for more information). 

Persons wishing to provide handouts or 

other written information to the working 

group are requested to provide

AGENCY: International Trade 

Administration, Department of 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice extending application

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of

calendar year 2014 (January 1, 2014

the deadline for receipt of applications 

from December 10, 2012 to December 

21, 2012. The IBP was established in the 

Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness 

Act of 1988 (Pub. L. 100–418, codified 

at 15 U.S.C. 4724) to bring international 

buyers together with U.S. firms by 

promoting leading U.S. trade shows in 

industries with high export potential. 

The IBP emphasizes cooperation 

between the DOC and trade show 

organizers to benefit U.S. firms 

exhibiting at selected events and 

provides practical, hands-on assistance 

such as export counseling and market 

analysis to U.S. companies interested in 

exporting. Specifically, through the IBP, 

the DOC selects domestic trade shows 

which will receive DOC assistance in 

the form of global promotion in foreign 

markets, providing export counseling to 

exhibitors, and providing export 

counseling and matchmaking services at 

the trade show. This notice covers 

selection for IBP participation during 

calendar year 2014. It also extends the 

deadline for applications to a new pilot 

initiative for the IBP, which will allow 

up to 20% of the 2014 IBP shows to be 

preselected for IBP participation in 

calendar year 2015 (January 1, 2015 

through December 31, 2015) without 

having to reapply for the second year. 

Eligibility for this pilot initiative is 

limited to annual trade shows that 

participated in the IBP in calendar years 

2011 or 2012. Applicants interested in 

being considered for this pilot must 

indicate so in the application. For more 

information about the IBP, including 

eligibility, participation fees, the 

responsibilities of the show organizers 

and the DOC, and how to apply, please

available on the IBP Web site http:// 

www.export.gov/IBP. 

DATES: Applications for the IBP must be
