Agenda During the open session, ETTAC will consider public comments, and/or industry presentations. During the closed session, the ETTAC will discuss U.S. Government strategies and potential revisions to export control policies.

Exemption is authorized by Section 10(d) of the FACA (5 U.S.C. 1009(d)), which permits the closure of advisory committee meetings, or portions thereof, if the head of the agency to which the advisory committee reports determines that 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 which would be likely to significantly frustrate implementation of a proposed agency action if prematurely disclosed.
