NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION


Proposal Review; Notice of Meetings

    In accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act (Pub. L. 92-
463, as amended), the National Science Foundation (NSF) announces its 
intent to hold proposal review meetings throughout the year. The 
purpose of these meetings is to provide advice and recommendations 
concerning proposals submitted to the NSF for financial support. The 
agenda for each of these meetings is to review and evaluate proposals 
as part of the selection process for awards. The majority of these 
meetings will take place at NSF, 4201 Wilson, Blvd., Arlington, 
Virginia 22230.

[[Page 42567]]

    All of these meetings will be closed to the public. The proposals 
being reviewed include information of a proprietary or confidential 
nature, including technical information; financial data; such as 
salaries; and personal information concerning individuals associated 
with the proposals. These matters are exempt under 5 U.S.C. 552b(c), 
(4) and (6) of the Government in the Sunshine Act. NSF will continue to 
review the agenda and merits of each meeting for overall compliance of 
the Federal Advisory Committee Act.
    These closed proposal review meetings will no longer be announced 
on an individual basis in the Federal Register. NSF intends to publish 
a notice similar to this on a quarterly basis. For an advance listing 
of the closed proposal review meetings that include the names of the 
proposal review panel and the time, date, place, and any information on 
changes, corrections, or cancellations, please visit the NSF web-site: 
www.nsf.gov/home/pubinfo/advisory.htm. This information may also be 
requested by telephoning 703/292-8182.

Susanne Bolton,
Committee Management Officer.
