lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
Background
The BEAAC was established
September 2, 1999, and 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 BEAAC
functions solely as an advisory
committee to the Director of BEA, in
accordance with the Federal Advisory
Committee Act (FACA), and advises
BEA on topics selected by BEA in
consultation with the Committee
chairperson. The BEAAC provides
recommendations from the perspectives
of the economics profession, business,
and government as well as
recommendations for current and
proposed BEA projects. This is the most
effective means of obtaining valuable
feedback on new data products and
improvements to BEA’s existing
statistics.
Description of BEAAC Membership and
Duties
The BEACC 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,
in accordance with applicable
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. Committee
members will be considered ‘‘special
government employees’’ (SGEs) and,
VerDate Sep<11>2014

therefore, will be subject to the ethical
standards applicable to SGEs.
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)
will be factors considered when
determining term renewal or
membership continuance. Members may
be appointed for no more than three
consecutive terms. Appointments may
be for one, two, or three years to provide
staggered terms.
The BEACC meets once or twice a
year, budget permitting. Additional
meetings may be held as deemed
necessary by the Director or the
Designated Federal Official. All
meetings are open to the public in
accordance with FACA the Freedom of
Information Act, 5 U.S.C. 552.
Members shall not reference or
otherwise utilize their membership on
this committee in connection with
public statements made in their
personal capacities without a disclaimer
that the views expressed are their own
and do not represent the views of the
BEACC, BEA, or the Department of
Commerce. 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.
Solicitation of Nominations
The Committee is currently filling one
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. Individuals
may nominate themselves or other
individuals, and professional
associations and organizations may
nominate one or more qualified persons
for membership on the Committee.
Nominations shall state that the
nominee is willing to serve as a member
and carry out the duties of the
Committee. A nomination package
should include the following
information for each nominee:
1. A letter of nomination stating the
name, affiliation, and contact
information for the nominee, the basis
for the nomination (i.e., what specific
attributes recommend him/her for

2. A biographical sketch of the
nominee and a copy of his/her
curriculum vitae; and

3. The name, return address, email

based on their expertise in or
representation of specific areas as
needed by BEAAC.
