I. Background
Section 135 of the Trade Act of 1974,
as amended (19 U.S.C. 2155),
establishes a private-sector trade
advisory system to ensure that U.S.
trade policy and trade negotiation
objectives adequately reflect U.S.
commercial and economic interests.
Section 135(c)(2) (19 U.S.C. 2155(c)(2))
directs the President to establish
sectoral or functional trade advisory
committees as appropriate, comprised of
representatives of all industry, labor,
agricultural, and services interests
(including small business interests) in
the sector or functional area. These
committees provide detailed policy and
technical advice, information, and
recommendations regarding trade
barriers, negotiation of trade
agreements, and implementation of
existing trade agreements affecting
industry sectors, and perform other
advisory functions relevant to U.S. trade
policy matters as requested. In
organizing these committees, the U.S.
Trade Representative and the relevant
Secretary consult with interested private
organizations and consider:
• Patterns of actual or potential
competition between United States
industry and agriculture and foreign
enterprise in international trade.
• the character of the nontariff
barriers and other distortions affecting
such competition.
• the necessity for reasonable limits
on the number and size of advisory
committees.
• in the case of each sectoral
committee, that the product lines
covered by each committee be
reasonably related.
Pursuant to this authority, the U.S.
Trade Representative and the Secretary
established the ITACs to provide
detailed policy and technical advice,
information, and recommendations on
trade policy matters including:
• Negotiating objectives and
bargaining positions before entering into
trade agreements.
• the impact of the implementation of
trade agreements on the relevant sector.
• matters concerning the operation of
any trade agreement once entered into.
PO 00000
Frm 00101
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
• other matters arising in connection
with the development, implementation,
and administration of the trade policy of
the United States.
The nonpartisan, industry input
provided by the ITACs is important in
developing unified trade policy
objectives and positions when the
United States negotiates and
implements trade agreements. The
ITACs address market-access problems,
trade barriers, tariffs, discriminatory
foreign procurement practices, and
information, marketing, and advocacy
needs of their industry sector. With
limited statutory exceptions, the ITACs
are subject to the provisions of the
Federal Advisory Committee Act.
The charters of the current ITACs
expire in February 2022, and the U.S.
Trade Representative and Secretary
intend to renew the ITACs for new fouryear charter terms beginning in
February 2022 and ending in February
2026. The list of ITACs for the current
2018–2022 charter term is as follows:
ITAC 1: Aerospace Equipment
ITAC 2: Automotive Equipment and
Capital Goods
ITAC 3: Chemicals, Pharmaceuticals,
Health/Science Products and Services
ITAC 4: Consumer Goods
ITAC 5: Forest Products, Building
Materials, Construction, and
Nonferrous Metals
ITAC 6: Energy and Energy Services
ITAC 7: Steel
ITAC 8: Digital Economy
ITAC 9: Small and Minority Business
ITAC 10: Services
ITAC 11: Textiles and Clothing
ITAC 12: Customs Matters and Trade
Facilitation
ITAC 13: Intellectual Property Rights
ITAC 14: Standards and Technical
Trade Barriers
For the 2022–2026 charter term, the
U.S. Trade Representative and the
Secretary propose to restructure the
ITACs as follows based on the nature of
the U.S. industry in various sectors, the
level of interest in serving on an ITAC
(using the number of members and
applications for appointment during the
2018–2022 charter terms), the level of
activity of each ITAC (using the number
of meetings and recommendations
