the Federal Advisory Committee Act
(FACA) (5 U.S.C. 1001–1014). The
exemption is authorized by section
1009(d) of the FACA, which permits the
closure of advisory committee meetings,
or portions thereof, if the head of the
agency to which the advisory committee
reports determines such meetings may
be closed to the public in accordance
with subsection (c) of the Government
in the Sunshine Act (5 U.S.C. 552b(c)).
In this case, the applicable provisions of
5 U.S.C. 552b(c) are subsection
552b(c)(4), which permits closure to
protect trade secrets and commercial or
financial information that is privileged
or confidential, and subsection
552b(c)(9)(B), which permits closure to
protect information that would be likely
to significantly frustrate implementation
of a proposed agency action were it to
be disclosed prematurely. The closed
session of the meeting will involve
committee discussions and guidance
regarding U.S. Government strategies
and policies.
The open session will be accessible
via teleconference. To join the
conference, submit inquiries to Ms.
Yvette Springer at Yvette.Springer@
bis.doc.gov.
A limited number of seats will be
available for members of the public to
attend the open session in person.
Reservations are not accepted.
Special Accommodations: Individuals
requiring special accommodations to
access the public meeting should
contact Ms. Yvette Springer no later
than Wednesday, September 11, 2024,
so that appropriate arrangements can be
made.
To the extent that time permits,
members of the public may present oral
statements to the Committee. The public
may submit written statements at any
time before or after the meeting.
However, to facilitate distribution of
materials to the Committee members,
the Committee suggests that members of
the public forward their materials prior
to the meeting to Ms. Springer via email.
Material submitted by the public will be

after the meeting.

The purpose of this collection is to
account for the public burden associated

bearings, microprocessors, machine
tools, etc). These surveys attempt to
determine the size of the domestic U.S.
industry, how the domestic U.S.
industry has been affected by foreign
imports, demand for the commodity
during peacetime, demand during
wartime, the ability of the U.S. domestic
industry to meet a surge in demand
during wartime, and the potential
impact on U.S. national security if
wartime demand cannot be met by
domestic U.S. suppliers.
