SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background: The Secretary of Commerce established the REEEAC
pursuant to discretionary authority and in accordance with the Federal
Advisory Committee Act, as amended (5 U.S.C. 1001 et seq.), on July 14,
2010. The REEEAC was re-chartered most recently on May 24, 2024. The
REEEAC provides the Secretary of Commerce with advice from the private
sector on the development and administration of programs and policies
to expand the export competitiveness of U.S. renewable energy and
energy efficiency products and services. More information about the
REEEAC, including the list of appointed members for this charter, is
published online at https://trade.gov/reeeac.
On Wednesday, February 12, 2025, the REEEAC will hold the second
meeting of its current charter term. The Committee, with officials from
the Department of Commerce and other U.S. Government agencies, will
discuss major issues affecting the competitiveness of the U.S.
renewable energy and energy efficiency industries. An agenda will be
made available by February 10, 2025 upon request to DFO Cora Dickson.
The meeting will be open to the public and will be accessible to
people with disabilities. All guests are required to register in
advance by the deadline identified under the DATES caption. Requests
for auxiliary aids must be submitted by the registration deadline. Last
minute requests will be accepted but may not be possible to fill.
A limited amount of time before the close of the meeting will be
available for oral comments from members of the public attending the
meeting. Members of the public attending virtually who wish to speak
during the public comment period must give the DFO advance notice in
order to facilitate their access. To accommodate as many speakers as
possible, the time for public comments will be limited to two to five
minutes per person (depending on number of public participants).
Individuals wishing to reserve speaking time during the meeting must
contact Cora Dickson using the contact information above 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 p.m. EST on Friday,

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 submit a copy of
their oral comments by email to Cora Dickson for distribution to the
participants in advance of the meeting.
Any member of the public may submit written comments concerning the
REEEAC's affairs at any time before or after the meeting. Comments may
