AGENCY: National Institute of Standards and Technology, Department of

ACTION: Notice of renewal.

    In accordance with the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee 
Act, 5 U.S.C. App. 2, and the General Services Administration (GSA) 
rule on Federal Advisory Committee Management, 41 CFR Part 101-6, and 
after consultation with GSA, the Secretary of Commerce has determined 
that the renewal of the Advanced Technology Program Advisory Committee 
is in the public interest in connection with the performance of the 
duties imposed on the Department by law.
    The Committee was first established in July 1999 to advise ATP 
regarding their programs, plans, and policies. In renewing the 
Committee, the Secretary has established it for an additional six 
months. During the next six months, the Committee plans to provide 
advice on ATP programs, plans and policies, review ATP's efforts to 
assess the economic impact of the program, and report on the general 
health of the program and its effectiveness in achieving its 
legislatively mandated mission.
    The Committee will consist of 6 to 12 members to be appointed by 
the Director of the National Institute of Standards and Technology to 
assure a balanced membership that will reflect the wide diversity of 
technical disciplines and industrial sectors represented in ATP 
projects.
    The Committee will function solely as an advisory body and in 
compliance with the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act. 
Copies of the Committee's revised charter will be filed with the 
appropriate committees of the Congress and with the Library of 
Congress.
