DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
 

Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award's Board of Overseers

AGENCY: National Institute of Standards and Technology, DOC.

ACTION: Notice of public meeting.

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

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. app. 
2, notice is hereby given that there will be a meeting of the Board of 
Overseers of the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award on Sunday, 
December 4, 1994, from 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. This meeting replaces the 
meeting originally scheduled on Monday, November 14, 1994, rescheduled 
because of last minute schedule changes by some of the Overseers. The 
Board of Overseers consists of eight members prominent in the field of 
quality management and appointed by the Secretary of Commerce, 
assembled to advise the Secretary of Commerce on the conduct of the 
Baldrige Award. The purpose of the meeting on December 4, 1994, will be 
for the Board of Overseers to receive and then discuss reports from the 
National Institute of Standards and Technology with the chairman of the 
Judges Panel of the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award. These 
reports will cover the following topics: Overview of the 1994 award 
program; discussion of the Overseers survey of CEO's; discussions of 
plans for the 1995 award, develop recommendations and report same to 
The Director of the National Institute of Standards and Technology.

DATES: The meeting will convene on Sunday, December 4, 1994 at 1:00 
p.m., and adjourn at 6:00 p.m. on December 4, 1994.

ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held at the National Alliance of 
Business, 1201 New York Avenue NW, Suite 700, Washington, D.C.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr. Curt W. Reimann, Director for 
Quality Programs, National Institute of Standards and Technology, 
Gaithersburg, Maryland 20899, telephone number (301) 975-2036.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: While it is Departmental policy to hold all 
advisory committee meetings during normal working hours, the Department 
has made an exception to this general policy since this meeting was 
rescheduled due to last minute emergencies which included grave illness 
and hospitalization of the wife of one of the Overseers and emergency 
hospitalization of the Chairman of the Board. These emergencies, in 
addition to the death of one Board member several weeks earlier and 
prior commitment on the part of one member, reduced the attendance 
enough to determine that full conduct of the business of the Board 
would require that the meeting be rescheduled. The only available date 
for the meeting, that would accommodate the schedules of the Overseers 
and allow presentation of a report to the Secretary of Commerce on 
December 5, was Sunday December 4, 1994.
    Because of the unusual timing, this advisory committee has taken 
extraordinary steps to insure access to this meeting by the public. 
Anyone wishing to attend should register with the guard on duty in the 
lobby at 1201 New York Avenue, Washington, D.C., who will then give 
directions to the meeting room.

    Dated: November 18, 1994.
Samuel Kramer,
Associate Director.
