ACTION: Notice. sroberts on DSK5SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES AGENCY: Mission Description The United States Department of Commerce, International Trade Administration (ITA), U.S. and Foreign Commercial Service (US&FCS) is organizing an executive-led trade mission to Indonesia and Vietnam. The proposed trade mission, scheduled for November 11–17, 2012, will visit two of Southeast Asia’s most dynamic markets and will help participants gain firsthand market knowledge and establish business contacts with senior decision makers. Southeast Asia offers one of the world’s largest and most dynamic markets for American exporters. The 10 member states comprising the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) represent a market of 609 million people that received over $76 billion of merchandise exports from the United States in 2011. Collectively, these member states have, a collective GDP of nearly $2.2 trillion. ASEAN’s total merchandise trade has skyrocketed, rising from around $400 billion a year in 1993 to $2.0 trillion in 2010. This trade mission will also serve as a follow-up to Secretary Locke’s June 2010 Clean Energy mission, which included a stop in Indonesia. The purpose of the mission is to inform U.S. firms about opportunities in Southeast Asia’s rapidly expanding market and to position U.S. companies to seize infrastructure-related export opportunities in Southeast Asia. The trade mission will be comprised of representatives from U.S. companies that provide state-of-the-art market services and technology to sectors critical to infrastructure development. The mission will visit Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), and Jakarta. In each city, participants will receive market briefings and meet with key government VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:20 Jul 06, 2012 Jkt 226001 Indonesia Market Information Energy—Electrical Power Generation and Transmission; Energy Management Services and Products; and Energy Efficiency The electric power generation sector in Indonesia has experienced a high growth in demand averaging seven to nine percent per annum during the last five years. However, due to lack of generating capacity, Indonesia still faces a power shortage in many parts of the country outside of Java and Bali. The overall electrification rate in Indonesia was 70.4% in 2011, one of the lowest rates in the region, affecting an estimated 80 million Indonesians. As Indonesia develops, the government-owned electricity company, PLN, is under significant pressure to build additional power generating capacity and to upgrade the current generation and transmission infrastructure. Construction of power plants, transmission and distribution lines in Indonesia may offer significant commercial opportunities for U.S. companies that supply engineering services and equipment such as turbines, substations, transmission, transformers and distribution equipment. There are also growing opportunities to upgrade underperforming installations built in the last decade. Demand-side power management concepts are just being introduced into Indonesia. There are likely to be growing opportunities for U.S. firms to offer energy efficiency solutions to new commercial facilities and retrofitting opportunities to some older industrial locations. Indonesia has one of the most significant natural endowments of biomass resources of any country in the world. Current projects only tap 1% of the available resource. Feed-in tariffs for biomass, biogas, and waste-to-energy encourage small-scale production and create opportunities for U.S. companies to invest or to offer a wide range of new technologies. The Indonesian government also promotes conversion of biomass to biofuels, which may result in PO 00000 Frm 00007 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 opportunities for innovative U.S. technologies. Aviation—Airports, Ground Support and Logistics With a population of more than 240 million spread over 17,000 islands, Indonesia presents an enormous aviation opportunity and one of the fastest-growing domestic air traffic markets in the world. Nationally, the number of airline passengers is projected to reach 143 million in 2012 while passenger traffic at Jakarta’s Sukarno Hatta increased from 43.8 million in 2009 to 58.9 million in 2011, ranking as the 12th busiest airport globally. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation, Ministry of Transportationannounced that it will complete its National Airport Master Plan in the second half of 2012 and that master planning projects will move ahead in the first half of 2013. Indonesia currently has 25 airport projects planned for upgrade and expansion by 2014 and two new green field airports as well as expansions and upgrades of another 45 smaller DGCA-run airports over the next decade. Given the large number of new aircraft coming into the fleets of Lion Air and Garuda Indonesia, and that major airports are already operating far beyond capacity, airport expansion is a top priority infrastructure sector. The Ministry of Transportation estimates project spending needs at $3.5 billion over 4 years. Buyers will include the two SOE airport operators, Angkasa Pura 1 and 2, DGCA for smaller airports, and new joint venture companies building new airport projects. Significant opportunities exist along all subsectors, especially in the areas of airport planning and design, ground support equipment and logistical infrastructure. As a result of surging demand created by an emerging middle class and a large population, spread over an archipelago the width of the United States, Indonesia’s private airlines are looking to compete in midmarkets, necessitating significant and concurrent development of airport infrastructure in many regions. Specifically, there are pressing needs for air traffic control systems, airport ground support equipment, safety and security equipment, IT infrastructure and services, and engineering and logistics surrounding the airport supply chain. Indonesia is regarded by both industry and the U.S. Government as a market well-positioned to accept Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) technologies, particularly given the capacity enhancements derived from NextGen that would alleviate much the country’s air system E:\FR\FM\09JYN1.SGM 09JYN1
