SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Committee was established September
2, 1999. The Committee advises the
Director of BEA on matters related to the
development and improvement of BEA’s
national, regional, industry, and
international economic accounts, with a
focus on new and rapidly growing areas
of the U.S. economy. The Committee
provides recommendations from the

profession, business, and government.

range of highly knowledgeable users of
economic statistics. This is the most
effective means of obtaining valuable
feedback on new data products and
improvements to BEA’s existing

solely as an advisory body, in
accordance with FACA, to advise BEA
on topics selected by BEA in
consultation with the Committee

The Committee meets once or twice a
year, budget permitting. Additional
meetings may be held as deemed

Designated Federal Official. All
Committee meetings are open to the
public in accordance with the Federal
Advisory Committee Act.
Members shall not reference or
otherwise utilize their membership on

personal capacities without a disclaimer
that the views expressed are their own
and do not represent the views of the
Committee, BEA, or the Department of
Commerce.
Committee members will serve for a
term up to three years. All members will
be reevaluated at the conclusion of the
term with the prospect of renewal for an
additional term. Active attendance and
participation in meetings and activities
(e.g., conference calls and assignments)

BEAAC Membership
Compensation for Members
Committee members shall serve
without compensation, but may, upon
request, be reimbursed travel expenses,
including per diem, as authorized by 5
U.S.C. 5701 et seq. Because Committee
members will not have access to
classified information, no security
clearances are required.
The Committee will consist of
approximately 15 members who are
appointed by and serve at the discretion
of the Director of BEA. The Committee
chairperson will be selected by the
Director of BEA. Members will be
selected on a clear, standardized basis,

Department of Commerce guidance.
Committee members will be from
business, academia, research,
government, and international
organizations, and they must be
acknowledged experts in relevant fields,
such as economics, statistics, and
economic accounting.
The Committee aims to have a
balanced representation among its
members, considering such factors as
geography, age, sex, race, ethnicity,
technical expertise, community
involvement, and knowledge of BEA
programs and/or activities. Individuals
will be selected based on their expertise
in or representation of specific areas as
needed by the BEA.
Committee members will be
considered ‘‘special government
employees’’ (SGEs) and, therefore, will
be subject to the ethical standards
applicable to SGEs.

or more positions on the BEAAC.
The Director will consider
nominations of all qualified individuals
to ensure that the Committee includes
the areas of experience noted above.
