SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The agenda will include presentations on 
Geographic Information System Approach for Identifying Emerging

business. The Assistant Secretary for Administration, with the 
concurrence of the General Counsel, formally determined on April 21, 
2006, 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 that portion will divulge matters the premature 
disclosure of which would be likely to significantly frustrate 
implementation of proposed agency actions.

    Dated: April 21, 2006.
William Jeffrey,
Director.
