FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For information regarding this Notice, 
please contact Patrice Pages at [email protected] or 202-517-1041.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: These public meetings address the charge in 
the 21st Century Nanotechnology Research and Development Act for NNCO 
to provide ``for public input and outreach . . . by the convening of 
regular and ongoing public discussions.'' Workshop and webinar topics 
may include strategic planning; technical subjects; environmental, 
health, and safety issues related to nanomaterials (nanoEHS); business 
case studies; or other areas of potential interest to the 
nanotechnology community. Areas of focus for the Communities of 
Interest may include research on nanoEHS; nanotechnology education; 
nanomedicine; nanomanufacturing; or other areas of potential interest 
to the nanotechnology community. The Communities of Interest are not 
intended to provide any government agency with advice or 
recommendations; such action is outside of their purview.
    Registration: Due to space limitations, pre-registration for 
workshops is required. Workshop registration is on a first-come, first-
served basis, and will be capped as space limitations dictate. 
Registration information will be available at https://www.nano.gov/events/meetings-workshops. Registration for the webinars will open 
approximately two weeks prior to each event and will be capped at 500 
participants or as space limitations dictate. Individuals planning to 
attend a webinar can find registration information at https://www.nano.gov/PublicWebinars. Written notices of participation for 
workshops, webinars, or Communities of Interest should be sent by email 
to [email protected].
    Meeting Accommodations: Individuals requiring special accommodation 
to access any of these public events should contact [email protected] 
at least 10 business days prior to the meeting so that appropriate 
arrangements can be made.
