SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Committee was established under the

with the Federal Advisory Committee Act (5 U.S.C. App. 2). It provides 
advice to the Secretary of Commerce on the necessary elements of a 
comprehensive policy approach to supply chain competitiveness designed 
to support U.S. export growth and national economic competitiveness, 
encourage innovation, facilitate the movement of goods, and improve the 
competitiveness of U.S. supply chains for goods and services in the 
domestic and global economy; and provides advice to the Secretary on

    Matters to be Considered: Committee members are expected to 
deliberate and vote on a Committee letter outlining its priority 
recommendations for this Administration and a Committee letter

will highlight the important issues that the Committee recommends that 
the Secretary of Commerce, in coordination with the Administration, 
address to improve the competitiveness of U.S. supply chains, 
facilitate new job growth within the United States, and increase U.S. 
exports. The Office of Supply Chain, Professional & Business Services 
will post the draft recommendations and the final agenda on the 
Committee Web site (https://trade.gov/td/services/oscpb/supplychain/acscc/) at least one week prior to the meeting. Please provide any
