SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background: The Travel Promotion Act of 2009 
(TPA) was signed into law by President Obama on March 4, 2010, and was 
amended in July 2010 and December 2014. The TPA established the 
Corporation for Travel Promotion (the Corporation), as a non-profit

United States; (B) identify and address perceptions regarding U.S. 
entry policies; (C) maximize economic and diplomatic benefits of travel 
to the United States through the use of various promotional tools; (D) 
ensure that international travel benefits all States and the District 
of Columbia, and (E) identify opportunities to promote tourism to rural 
and urban areas equally, including areas not traditionally visited by 
international travelers.
    The Corporation (doing business as Brand USA) is governed by a 
Board of Directors, consisting of 11 members with knowledge of 
international travel promotion or marketing, broadly representing 
various regions of the United States. The TPA directs the Secretary of 
Commerce (after consultation with the Secretary of Homeland Security 
and the Secretary of State) to appoint the Board of Directors for the 
Corporation.
