USTR Notice of Proposed Changes to the Slate of Industry Trade Advisory Committees.

On December 21, 2021, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative published in the Federal Register (8 FR 72303) Notice of Proposed Changes to the Slate of Industry Trade Advisory Committees.

Proposed changes include:

  • Dividing the current Industry Trade Advisory on Forest Products, Building Materials, Construction, and Nonferrous Metals into two separate committees with amended names: Industry Trade Advisory Committee on Critical Minerals and Nonferrous Metals (ITAC 5), and Industry Trade Advisory Committee on Forest Products and Building Materials (new ITAC 8).
  • Changing the name of the ITAC on Small and Minority Business (ITAC 8) to the Industry Trade Advisory Committee on Small, Minority, and Woman-led Business to more accurately reflect the full scope of the ITAC’s work.
  • Establishing a Committee of Chairs of the ITACs to facilitate cross-sharing of information and provide a powerful tool to gather timely cross-cutting input across sectors.
