SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Assistant Secretary for Administration, 
with the concurrence of the General Counsel, formally determined on 
January 16, 2002, that portions of the meeting of the Visiting 
Committee on Advanced Technology which involve discussion of proposed 
funding levels of the Advanced Technology Program and the Manufacturing 
Extension Partnership 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 the staffing 
issues of management and other positions at NIST 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: May 6, 2002.
Karen H. Brown,
Deputy Director.
