all expenses they incur to attend
meetings or otherwise participate in
TEPAC activities. Committee members
must be able to obtain and maintain a
security clearance in order to serve and
have access to classified and trade
sensitive documents. They must meet
the eligibility requirements at the time
of appointment and at all times during
their term of service.
TEPAC members are appointed to
represent their sponsoring U.S. entity’s
interests on trade and the environment,
and thus USTR’s foremost consideration
for applicants is their ability to carry out
the goals of section 135(c) of the Trade
Act of 1974, as amended. Other criteria
include the applicant’s knowledge of
and expertise in international trade
issues as relevant to the work of the
TEPAC and USTR. USTR anticipates
that almost all TEPAC members will
serve in a representative capacity with
a limited number serving in an
individual capacity as subject matter
experts. These members, known as
special government employees, are
subject to conflict of interest rules and
may have to complete a financial
disclosure report.
III. Request for Nominations
USTR is soliciting nominations for
membership on the TEPAC. To apply
for membership, an applicant must meet
the following eligibility criteria at the
time of application and at all times
during their term of service as a TEPAC
member:
1. The person must be a U.S. citizen.
2. The person cannot be a full-time
employee of a U.S. governmental entity.
3. If serving in an individual capacity,
the person cannot be a federally
registered lobbyist.
4. The person cannot be registered
with the U.S. Department of Justice
under the Foreign Agents Registration
Act.
5. The person must be able to obtain
and maintain a security clearance.
6. For representative members, who
will comprise almost all of the TEPAC,
the person must represent a U.S.
organization whose members (or
funders) have a demonstrated interest in
issues relevant to trade and the
environment or have personal
experience or expertise in trade and the
environment.
7. For eligibility purposes, a ‘‘U.S.
organization’’ is an organization
established under the laws of the United
States, that is controlled by U.S.
citizens, by another U.S. organization
(or organizations), or by a U.S. entity (or
entities), determined based on its board
of directors (or comparable governing
body), membership, and funding

U.S. organization, more than 50 percent
of the board of directors (or comparable
governing body) and more than 50
percent of the membership of the
organization to be represented must be
U.S. citizens, U.S. organizations, or U.S.
entities. Additionally, at least 50
percent of the organization’s annual
revenue must be attributable to
nongovernmental U.S. sources.
8. For members who will serve in an
individual capacity, the person must
possess subject matter expertise
regarding international trade and
environmental issues.
In order to be considered for TEPAC
membership, interested persons should
submit the following to Amanda
Mayhew, Office of Environment and
Natural Resources, Amanda.B.Mayhew@

Director for Private Sector Engagement,

• Name, title, affiliation, and contact
information of the individual requesting
consideration.
• If applicable, a sponsor letter on the
organization’s letterhead containing a
brief description of the manner in which
international trade affects the
organization and why USTR should
consider the applicant for membership.
• The applicant’s personal resume.
• An affirmative statement that the
applicant and the organization they
represent meet all eligibility
requirements.
USTR will consider applicants who
meet the eligibility criteria in
accordance with equal opportunity
practices that promote diversity, equity,
inclusion, and accessibility, based on
the following factors:
• Ability to represent the sponsoring
U.S. entity’s or U.S. organization’s and
its subsector’s interests on trade and
environmental matters.
• Knowledge of and experience in
trade and environmental matters
relevant to the work of the TEPAC and
USTR.
• How they will contribute to trade
policies that eliminate social and
economic structural barriers to equality
and economic opportunity and to
understanding of the projected impact
of proposed trade policies on
communities of color and underserved
communities.

balanced in terms of points of view,
