How does cmte accomplish its purpose?*The Advisory Committee on Supply Chain Competitiveness (Committee or ACSCC) advised the Secretary on the necessary elements of a comprehensive, holistic national freight infrastructure and a national freight policy designed to support U.S. export growth and competitiveness, fostered national economic competitiveness, and improved U.S. supply chain competitiveness in the domestic and global economy. This Committee provided detailed policy and technical advice, information, and recommendations to the Secretary regarding: national, state, or local factors that inhibited the efficient domestic and international movement of goods from point of origin to destination and the competitiveness of domestic and international supply chains; infrastructure capacity, inter- and cross-modal connectivity, investment, regulatory, and intra- or inter-governmental coordination factors that affected supply chain competitiveness, goods movement, and sustainability; emerging trends in goods movement that affected supply chain competitiveness; and metrics that could be used to quantify supply chain performance.

The Secretary used this advice, information, and recommendations in interagency discussions in the development of a national freight policy. The Committee acted as a liaison among the stakeholders represented by the membership and provided a forum for those stakeholders on current and emerging issues in goods movement, ensuring regular contact between the government and the supply chain industries. The Committee advised and provided policy advice, information, and recommendations to the Secretary with respect to the formulation, coordination, and oversight of domestic and foreign policy related to supply chains for goods and services. In administering this committee, the Department of Commerce worked closely with the Department of Transportation.
How is membership balanced?*The Committee had a maximum of forty five (45) private sector members with a balanced and broad range of interests, including representatives from supply chain firms or their associations, stakeholders, community organizations, and others directly affected by the supply chain, as well as experts from academia. Appointments were made by the Secretary, in consultation with the Department of Transportation, EPA, and other agencies, as appropriate. Members were appointed for terms of two years. (Membership Balance Plan was available in the FACA Database.)
How frequent & relevant are cmte mtgs?*The Committee met as often as necessary as determined by the DFO, but not less than once per year.
Why advice can't be obtained elsewhere?*The Committee advised the Secretary on the necessary elements of a comprehensive, holistic national freight infrastructure and a national freight policy designed to support U.S. export growth and competitiveness, foster national economic competitiveness, and improve U.S. supply chain competitiveness in the domestic and global economy. The functions of the ACSCC were not able to be performed by the Department, another existing advisory committee, or any other federal agency. The input, advice, and recommendations on supply chain-related issues provided by the ACSCC were unique, representing the views of knowledgeable and experienced representatives of the supply chain industry and its stakeholders. These viewpoints were not available within the Department itself or from other advisory committees.
Why close or partially close meetings?N/A
Recommendation RemarksPer EO 14217, the Secretary of Commerce has determined that the purposes for which ACSCC was established have been fulfilled, and the committee has been terminated effective on February 28, 2025.
