SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. app.

session from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., will be closed to the Public.
    The Board was established under the authority of 15 U.S.C. 
3704b(c), and was Chartered on September 15, 1989. The Board is 
composed of five members appointed by the Secretary of Commerce who are 
eminent in such fields as information resources management, information 
technology, and library and information services. The purpose of the 
meeting is to review and make recommendations regarding general 
policies and operations of NTIS, including policies in connection with 
fees and charges for its services. The agenda will include a progress 
report on NTIS activities, an update on the progress of FedWorld, and a 
discussion of NTIS' long range plans. The closed session discussion is 
scheduled to begin at 8:30 a.m. and end at 12:30 p.m. on July 22, 1998. 
The session will be closed because premature disclosure of the 
information to be discussed would be likely to significantly frustrate 
implementation of NTIS' business plans.

adjourn at 4:00 p.m.
