SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Assistant Secretary for Administration, 
with the concurrence of the General Counsel, formally determined on 
March 30, 2000, that portions of the meeting of the Advanced Technology 
Program Advisory Committee which involve discussion of proposed funding 
of the Advanced Technology Program may be closed in accordance with 5 
U.S.C. 552b(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 staffing of 
positions in ATP may be closed in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552b(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: September 26, 2000.
Karen H. Brown,
Deputy Director.
