in the U.S. national interest:

    In the case of a trade association, the applicant must certify that 
each firm or service provider to be represented by the association can 
make the above certifications.

The Following Selection Criteria Will Be Used for This Mission

    Selection will be based on the following criteria, listed in 
decreasing order of importance:
     Suitability of the company's (or in the case of a trade 
association, represented company's) products or services to the Chinese 
market and the likelihood of increased exports or business interests in 
China as a result of this mission;
     Consistency of the company's (or in the case of a trade 
association, represented company's) goals and objectives with the 
stated scope of the mission;

    The balance of entities participating in the mission with respect 
to type, size, location, sector or subsector may also be considered 
during the review process.
    Referrals from political organizations and any information, 
including on the application, containing references to political 
contributions or other partisan political activities will be excluded 
from the application and will not be considered during the selection 
process. The sender will be notified of these exclusions.

Trade Mission Participation Fees

    If and when an applicant is selected to participate on a particular 
mission, a payment to the Department of Commerce in the amount of the 
designated participation fee below is required. Upon notification of 
acceptance to participate, those selected have 5 business days to 
submit payment or the acceptance may be revoked.
    Participants selected for a trade mission will be expected to pay 
for the cost of personal expenses, including, but not limited to, 
international travel, lodging, meals, transportation, communication, 
and incidentals, unless otherwise noted. Participants will, however, be 
able to take advantage of U.S. Government rates for hotel rooms. In the 
event that a mission is cancelled, no personal expenses paid in 
anticipation of a mission will be reimbursed. However, participation 
fees for a cancelled mission will be reimbursed to the extent they have 
not already been expended in anticipation of the mission.
    If a visa is required to travel on a particular mission, applying 
for and obtaining such visas will be the responsibility of the mission 
participant. Government fees and processing expenses to obtain such 
visas are not included in the participation fee. However, the 
Department of Commerce will provide instructions to each participant on 
the procedures required to obtain business visas.
    Trade Mission members participate in trade missions and undertake 
mission-related travel at their own risk. The nature of the security 
situation in a given foreign market at a given time cannot be 
guaranteed. The U.S. Government does not make any representations or 
guarantees as to the safety or security of participants. The U.S. 
Department of State issues U.S. Government international travel alerts 
and warnings for U.S. citizens available at https://travel.state.gov/content/passports/en/alertswarnings.html. Any question regarding 
insurance coverage

[[Page 45265]]

must be resolved by the participant and its insurer of choice.

Definition of Small and Medium Sized Enterprise

    For purposes of assessing participation fees, the Department of 
Commerce defines Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SME) as a firm 
with 500 or fewer employees or that otherwise qualifies as a small 
business under SBA regulations (see http://www.sba.gov/services/contractingopportunities/sizestandardstopics/index.html). Parent 
companies, affiliates, and subsidiaries will be considered when 
determining business size. The dual pricing reflects the Commercial 
Service's user fee schedule that became effective May 1, 2008 (see 
http://www.export.gov/newsletter/march2008/initiatives.html for 
additional information).

found at http://export.gov/trademissions).

Secretary-Led Multi-Sector Trade Mission to China, Mid-November 2017

Summary

    United States Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross will lead a Trade 
Mission to China in mid-November 2017. This multi-sector mission will 
promote U.S. exports to China by supporting U.S. companies in launching 
or increasing their business in the marketplace, as well as address 
trade policy issues with high-level Chinese officials. Key elements 
will include business-to-government and business-to-industry meetings, 
market briefings, networking events and opportunities to promote new 
deals and agreements between mission participants and Chinese entities 
through signing ceremonies.
    In April 2017, President Trump and President Xi met at Mar-a-Lago 
to discuss strategic and economic concerns of both countries. The 
Presidents agreed to meet again in 2017 to further the relationship. 
Addressing the imbalance in U.S.-China trade has been a central focus 
of discussions between President Trump and President Xi, and this trade 
mission will advance the bilateral commercial relationship by promoting 
business deals between U.S. and Chinese firms, as well as addressing 
market access barriers faced by U.S. companies. President Xi and other 
senior Chinese officials have signaled their interest in improving the 
U.S.-China relationship through increased exports of U.S. goods and 
services to China.
    The trade mission delegation will be composed of senior executives 
(equivalent to C-suite) from 12-25 U.S. firms.
