The President has delegated authority

Section 135(c)(1) of the Trade Act of
1974 calls for each general policy
advisory committee ‘‘insofar as is

all industry, labor, agricultural, service,
investment, defense, and other interests
. . . including small business interests.’’
Section 135(f) of the Trade Act of
1974 provides, in relevant part that,
‘‘the provisions of the Federal Advisory
Committee Act apply . . . (2) to all . . .
advisory committees which may be
established under subsection (c) of this
section.’’ The Federal Advisory
Committee Act (FACA) (5 U.S.C. 1–14)
requires that legislation establishing or
authorizing the establishment of an
advisory committee ‘‘require the
membership of the advisory committee
to be fairly balanced in terms of the
points of view represented and the
functions to be performed by the
advisory committee’’ (5 U.S.C. 5).
With the creation of the Public
Interest Trade Advisory Committee, a
new forum for discussions on public
interest aspects of trade issues will be
available. The objectives and scope of
activities of the Public Interest Trade
Advisory Committee include, but are
not limited to:
(1) Providing the U.S. Trade
Representative with policy advice on
issues including but not limited to,
public health, international
development, and consumer protection.
(2) Providing the President, the USTR,
and Congress with reports on trade
agreements, following their conclusions,

whether and to what extent the
