SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. app. 
2, notice is hereby given that the National Institute of Standards and 
Technology's Visiting Committee on Advanced Technology (NIST) will meet 
on Tuesday, December 6, 1994, from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The Visiting 
Committee on Advanced Technology is composed of nine members appointed 
by the Director of the National Institute of Standards and Technology 
who are eminent in such fields as business, research, new product 
development, engineering, labor, education, management consulting, 
environment, and international relations. The purpose of this meeting 
is to review and make recommendations regarding general policy for the 
Institute, its organization, its budget, and its programs within the 
framework of applicable national policies as set forth by the President 
and the Congress. The agenda will include presentations on NIST 
programs; the Advanced Technology Program: progress report, planning, 
and management; and a discussion of the Institute budget.
    Discussions on the NIST budget, including funding of the Applied 
Technology Program and the staffing of management positions at NIST 
scheduled to begin at 4:00 p.m. and to end at 5:00 p.m. on December 6, 
1994, will be closed.

DATES: The meeting will convene December 6, 1994, at 8:30 a.m. and will 
adjourn at 5:00 p.m. on December 6, 1994.

ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held in Lecture Room A, Administration 
Building, at NIST, Gaithersburg, Maryland.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Chris E. Kuyatt, Visiting Committee Executive Director, NIST, 
Gaithersburg, Maryland 20899, telephone number (301) 975-6090.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Assistant Secretary for Administration, 
with the concurrence of the General Counsel, formally determine on 
August 2, 1994, that portions of the meeting of the Visiting Committee 
on Advanced Technology which involve discussion of proposed funding of 
the ATP and the MEP Programs may be closed in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 
552(c)(9)(B), because those portions of the meetings will divulge 
matters the premature disclosure of which would be likely to 
significantly frustrate implementation of proposed agency actions; and 
that portions of meetings which involve discussion of the staffing of 
management and other positions at NIST may be closed in accordance with 
5 U.S.C. 552(c)(6), because divulging information discussed in those 
portions of the meetings is likely to reveal information of a personal 
nature where disclosure would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion 
of personal privacy.

    Dated: October 26, 1994.
Samuel Kramer,
Associate Director.
