SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Travel Promotion Act of 2009 (TPA) was 

signed into law 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 corporation charged with the 

development and execution of a plan to (A) provide useful information 

to those interested in traveling to the 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 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.

    On July 19, 2018, the Department published in the Federal Register 

a ``Notice of an opportunity for travel and tourism industry leaders to 

apply for membership on the Board of Directors of the Corporation for 

Travel Promotion'' (83 FR 34112), announcing membership opportunities 

on the Board of Directors of the Corporation for Travel Promotion. The
