USTR Requests Nominations for Africa, Intergovernmental Advisory Committees

The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative is requesting membership nominations for the Trade Advisory Committee on Africa and the Intergovernmental Policy Advisory Committee on Trade, in two separate Federal Register notices. USTR is also updating its eligibility criteria to allow lobbyists to serve on both committees. The Office of Management and Budget removed the lobbyist ban in August (see 14081217). Nominations for both the Trade Advisory Committee on Africa (here) and the Intergovernmental Policy Advisory Committee on Trade (here) will be considered on a rolling basis.
