Estimated reading time: 2–3 minutes
The U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security has announced a meeting of the Sensors and Instrumentation Technical Advisory Committee (SITAC). This meeting will take place on July 29, 2025. The meeting will be held from 12:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Both the open and closed parts of the meeting will happen virtually by phone call.
SITAC gives advice to the Secretary of Commerce and other officials about export control policies. These controls help keep important technology and information safe. At this meeting, committee members and government representatives will talk about new technical data and information that affects export policy.
The meeting has two parts. The first part, from 12:30 p.m. to about 1:30 p.m., is open to the public. This open session will include reports from working groups, general business, and industry presentations. Anyone who wishes to join must register in advance. To join the open session, participants should contact SITAC by email no later than 11:59 p.m. on July 25, 2025.
The second part of the meeting, from around 1:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m., will be closed to the public. This is because the committee will discuss matters that are private or sensitive. The closed session will cover discussions about U.S. export controls guidelines and upcoming decisions. This session is closed under rules that protect trade secrets and information that could affect future agency actions.
Anyone who needs special help to join the meeting should email SITAC by 11:59 p.m. on July 22, 2025. This will allow time to make proper arrangements.
Members of the public can speak during the open session if there is time. The public can also send written statements before or after the meeting. To make sure committee members see public materials, they should be sent by email before the meeting. Anything the public sends will be made public, so it should not have secret or confidential details.
Meeting materials from the open session will be posted online at https://tac.bis.doc.gov within 30 days after the meeting. If the meeting is canceled, a notice will be posted on the same website.
