REEEAC
In support of U.S. renewable energy and energy efficiency manufacturers and services providers, the U.S. Department of Commerce has re-established the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Advisory Committee (REEEAC) for the 8th Charter (2024-2026). The REEEAC shall advise the Secretary regarding the development and administration of programs and policies to expand the competitiveness of U.S. exports of renewable energy and energy efficiency goods and services, in accordance with applicable United States regulations. The full REEEAC will meet twice a year in person and twice a year virtually.
The REEEAC will hold a virtual meeting on Tuesday, December 3, 2024 from approximately 9:30 AM to 12:00 PM Eastern Standard Time (EST). The Committee will conduct organizational activities and hold initial discussions on topics of interest. Members of the public wishing to participate as observers must register in advance with the Designated Federal Officer (DFO), Cora Dickson, at the contact information below by 5:00 p.m. EST on Monday December 2, 2024.
A limited amount of time before the close of the meeting will be available for oral comments from members of the public attending the meeting. Members of the public attending virtually who wish to speak during the public comment period must give the DFO advance notice in order to facilitate their access. To accommodate as many speakers as possible, the time for public comments will be limited to two to five minutes per person (depending on number of public participants). Individuals wishing to reserve speaking time during the meeting must contact the DFO and submit a brief statement of the general nature of the comments, as well as the name and address of the proposed participant, by 5:00 p.m. EST on Monday, December 2, 2024. If the number of registrants requesting to make statements is greater than can be reasonably accommodated during the meeting, the International Trade Administration may conduct a lottery to determine the speakers. Speakers are requested to submit a copy of their oral comments by email to the DFO for distribution to the participants in advance of the meeting. Any member of the public may submit written comments concerning the REEEAC’s affairs at any time before or after the meeting. To be considered during the meeting, public comments must be transmitted to the REEEAC prior to the meeting. As such, written comments must be received no later than 5:00 p.m. EST on Monday, December 2, 2024. Comments received after that date will be distributed to the members but may not be considered at the meeting.
