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

years, the Committee is expected 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.
