IV. Request for Nominations
I. Background
The TPCC is an interagency group
mandated by Congress (15 U.S.C. 4727)
and chaired by the Secretary of
Commerce. It was established to provide
a unifying framework to coordinate the
export promotion and financing
activities of the U.S. Government, as
well as to develop a government wide
strategic plan for carrying out Federal
export promotion and export financing
programs. The United States does not
have a single agency or government
department responsible for creating a
unified approach to governing export
promotion; instead, 20 different
departments and agencies approach
exports with differing mandates. The
TPCC serves as the coordinating body
designed to ensure that these agencies
and departments act together and work
to implement the Administration’s
export promotion agenda, through
periodic principals meetings and more
frequent working group meetings on a
variety of subjects.
The TPCC statutory mandate
includes:
(1) Coordinate the development of the
trade promotion policies and programs
of the United States Government;
(2) provide a central source of
information for the business community
on Federal export promotion and export
financing programs;
(3) coordinate official trade promotion
efforts to ensure better delivery of
services to United States businesses,
including: (a) Information and
counseling on United States export
promotion and export financing
programs and opportunities in foreign
markets; (b) representation of United
States business interests abroad; and (c)
assistance with foreign business
contacts and projects;
(4) prevent unnecessary duplication
in Federal export promotion and export
financing activities; and
(5) assess the appropriate levels and
allocation of resources among agencies
PO 00000
Frm 00006
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
in support of export promotion and
export financing and provide
recommendations to the President based
on its assessment.
In carrying out that mandate, the
TPCC develops and implements an
annual government wide strategic plan
for Federal trade promotion efforts. The
annual strategic plan establishes a set of
priorities for Federal activities in
support of U.S. exports; explains the
rationale for the priorities; reviews
current Federal programs designed to
promote U.S. exports in light of those
priorities; identifies areas of overlap and
duplication and proposes means of
eliminating them; proposes an annual
unified Federal trade promotion budget
to the President; reviews efforts by the
States to promote exports and proposes
means of developing cooperation
between State and Federal efforts; and
reflects certain recommendations
regarding the promotion of travel and
tourism exports as appropriate.
For additional information, including
the list of TPCC member departments
and agencies, please see https://www.
export.gov/article?id=What-is-the-TPCC.
II. Establishment of Working Group
Section 504(a) of the Trade
Facilitation and Trade Enforcement Act
of 2015 (‘‘Act’’), amended the Export
Enhancement Act of 1988 to add a new
section 2313A. Section 2313A notes that
U.S. policy is to promote exports as an
opportunity for small businesses, and in
exercising their powers and functions to
advance that policy, all Federal agencies
shall work constructively with State and
local agencies engaged in export
promotion and export financing
activities. Section 2313A directs the
President to establish the State and
Federal Export Promotion Coordination
Working Group (‘‘Working Group’’)
under the TPCC with the purposes to:
(1) Identify issues related to the
coordination of Federal resources
relating to export promotion and export
financing with such resources provided
by State and local governments;
(2) identify ways to improve
coordination with respect to export
promotion and export financing
activities through the TPCC annual
strategic plan;
(3) develop a strategy for improving
coordination of Federal and State
resources relating to export promotion
and export financing, including
methods to eliminate duplication of
effort and overlapping functions; and
(4) develop a strategic plan for
considering and implementing the
suggestions of the Working Group as
part of the TPCC annual strategic plan.
