Export Compliance Daily combines U.S. export control news, foreign border import regulation and policy developments into a single daily information service that reliably informs its trade professional readers about important current issues affecting their operations.
The supply chain competitiveness committee has been used by previous administrations to speak with industry about issues related to port congestion (see 2302150057), Federal Maritime Commission initiatives (see 2302150050), and other export and import topics (see 2210130050 and 2106240061).
Other terminated committees include the International Trade Administration's Civil Nuclear Trade Advisory Committee, the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Advisory Committee, the United States Investment Advisory Council and the United States Manufacturing Council. The Bureau of Industry and Security's seven export control-focused technical advisory committees appear to have been left untouched.
