        <description>Amendment sought to provide for the establishment of a Manufacturing and Technology Administration in the Department of Commerce.</description>
        <purpose>An amendment numbered 4 printed in House Report 109-227 to re-orient the current Technology Administration (TA), the Undersecretary of Technology, and Office of Technology Policy (OTP) towards manufacturing and competitiveness issues; to rename and refocus TA by establishing a Manufacturing Administration, an Undersecretary of Manufacturing, and an Office of Industry Analysis; to require the Manufacturing Administration to conduct broad-based manufacturing and technology policy analysis; and to coordinate with States, local governments, and universities on manufacturing and technology activities. NIST and the National Technical Information Service would remain a part of the Manufacturing Administration.</purpose>
