SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background: ITA is showcasing U.S. exports
by exhibiting successfully exported products and services at its
headquarters in Washington, DC, to highlight the benefits of exporting
and the impact of exports on the U.S. economy. The exhibit, which
represents a series of industries and a variety of companies, is
located in the Office of the Under Secretary for International Trade.
The exhibit is rotated approximately every four months.
The next sector to be displayed is the environmental technologies
sector. Companies and trade associations in this sector are encouraged
to express interest in showcasing their exports of goods and/or
services by contacting ITA through the individual listed above.
Displayed items may include illustrations, miniaturized or actual
models of overseas projects incorporating substantial U.S.
environmental products or services, in addition to samples of actual
U.S. products that are being successfully exported.
Extensive shelf-, wall- and floor-space are available in this
executive-style office.
Selection Process:
Items will be selected for exhibition on the basis of the following
factors:
(1) Items must be produced in, or representative of services
exported from, the United States and have at least a 51% U.S. content,
including materials, equipment and labor (in the case of large
development projects, the applicant should identify substantial U.S.
products or services into the completed project). To highlight the
impact of exports on small businesses, items will also be considered
that are produced by U.S. companies that do not directly export but
rather whose goods or services are incorporated into another company's
for export.
(2) The items must relate to the industry selected by ITA and be
suitable for exhibition in a limited space.
(3) The company must not be owned or controlled, indirectly or
directly, by a foreign government.
(4) Items chosen should reflect diversity of company size,
location, demographics, and traditional under-representation in
business.
Other conditions: Displayed items will be considered loans to the
Department. Companies will be responsible for shipment of the item to
and from the Commerce Department, for obtaining appropriate insurance,
and for all related costs.
Time Frame for Applications: Expressions of interest from the
environmental technologies sector should be received by April 5, 1999.
Expressions of interest should be sent to the ITA official identified
above.
A Federal Register notice will be published subsequently to
announce the next sector to be highlighted.
Authority: 15 U.S.C. 1512.
Dated: March 11, 1999.

Under Secretary for International Trade.
