Announcement of a Meeting To Discuss an Opportunity To Join a 
Cooperative Research and Development Consortium for Developing a 
Methodology for Evaluating Seams of Rubber Roofing Membranes

AGENCY: National Institute of Standards and Technology, Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of public meeting.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) 
invites interested parties to attend a meeting on October 11, 1994 to 
discuss the possibility of setting up a cooperative research consortium 
on the development of a methodology for evaluating the long-term 
performance of tape-bonded seams of vulcanized-rubber roofing 
membranes. Parties interested in participating in the consortium should 
be prepared to invest adequate resources in the collaboration and be 
firmly committed to the goal of developing performance evaluation 
methodology.
    Any program undertaken will be within the scope and confines of The 
Federal Technology Transfer Act of 1986 (Pub. L. 99-502, 15 U.S.C. 
3710a), which provides federal laboratories including NIST, with the 
authority to enter into cooperative research agreements with qualified 
parties. Under this law, NIST may provide ``personnel, service, 
facilities, equipment or other resources with or without reimbursement 
(but not funds to non-federal parties)''--to the cooperative research 
program.
    The meeting will be held on October 11, 1994 at 8:30 a.m., room 
B221, Building 226 at NIST in Gaithersburg, MD, for interested parties. 
The meeting will discuss the possible formation of a research 
consortium including NIST and industry to conduct research in this 
area. This is not a grant program

DATES: The meeting will be held on October 11, 1994. Interested parties 
should contact NIST to confirm their attendance at the address, 
telephone number or FAX number shown below no later than September 30, 
1994.

ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held at 8:30 a.m., room B221, Building 
226, National Institute of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, MD.
