The Department of Commerce encourages, serves, and promotes the Nation's 
international trade, economic growth, and technological advancement. The 
Department provides a wide variety of programs through the competitive 
free enterprise system. It offers assistance and information to increase 
America's competitiveness in the world economy; administers programs to 
prevent unfair foreign trade competition; provides social and economic 
statistics and analyses for business and government planners; provides 
research and support for the increased use of scientific, engineering, 
and technological development; works to improve our understanding and 
benefits of the Earth's physical environment and oceanic resources; 
grants patents and registers trademarks; develops policies and conducts 
research on telecommunications; provides assistance to promote domestic 
economic development; promotes travel to the United States by residents 
of foreign countries; and assists in the growth of minority businesses.

The Department was designated as such by act of March 4, 1913 (15 U.S.C. 
1501), which reorganized the Department of Commerce and Labor, created 
by act of February 14, 1903 (15 U.S.C. 1501), by transferring all labor 
activities into a new, separate Department of Labor. The Department of 
Commerce (DOC) is composed of the Office of the Secretary and the 
operating units.

Office of the Secretary

Secretary  The Secretary is responsible for the administration of all 
functions and authorities assigned to the Department of Commerce and for 
advising the President on Federal policy and programs affecting the 
industrial and commercial segments of the national economy. The 
Secretary is served by the offices of Deputy Secretary, Inspector 
General, and General Counsel and the Assistant Secretaries of 
Administration, Legislative and Intergovernmental Affairs, and Public 
Affairs. Other offices whose public purposes are widely administered are 
detailed below and on the following pages.
Office of the Press Secretary  The Office of the Press Secretary serves 
as the Secretary's official liaison to the news media in the United 
States and the world. The Office handles all media inquiries related to 
the Secretary, provides the press with information and support on events 
and trips involving the Secretary, researches and compiles press 
information for the Department of Commerce, and is in constant 
communication with all forms of media regarding Department of Commerce 
and administration initiatives.
Business Liaison  This office develops and promotes a cooperative 
working relationship and ensures effective communication between the 
Department of Commerce and the business community. The Office's 
objectives are

[[Page 155]]

to keep the business community aware of Department and administration 
resources, policies, and programs, and to keep Department and 
administration officials aware of issues of concern to business. The 
Office also promotes business involvement in departmental policymaking 
and program development, and provides technical assistance to businesses 
that desire help in dealing with the Government.

Consumer Affairs  This office encourages and assists the business 
community in being responsive to consumer interests in a global

with consumer groups and other Federal, State, county, and municipal 
government agencies, and international organizations.

For further information, call 202-482-5001; or fax, 202-482-6007; or fax

Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization  The Office of Small and 
Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU) serves as the principal 
departmental advocate for small, minority, and women business owners. 
OSDBU assures that small firms fully participate in Commerce programs 
and receive the maximum amount of Commerce contract and subcontract 
dollars.
    OSDBU is the focal point of Commerce's constant efforts to increase 
awards to small firms by searching for opportunities to match with the 
capabilities of small, minority, and women-owned firms.
    OSDBU informs the small business community about Commerce 
opportunities by publishing the Annual Forecast of Contracts, by 
individual counseling, and by participating with other Federal agencies 
and trade associations at procurement fairs.
    OSDBU was established by the Small Business Act, as amended (15 
U.S.C. 644).

For further information, call 202-482-3387.

Economics and Statistics Administration

The Under Secretary for Economic Affairs advises the Secretary and other 
Government officials on matters relating to economic developments and 
forecasts and on the development of macroeconomic and microeconomic 
policy. The Under Secretary, as Administrator of the Economics and 
Statistics Administration, exercises general supervision over the Bureau 
of the Census and the Bureau of Economic Analysis.
    Current economic data are available to the public through the 
National Trade Data Bank and the Economic Bulletin Board.

For further information, call 202-482-1986.

Bureau of the Census

[For the Bureau of the Census statement of organization, see the Federal 
Register of Sept. 16, 1975, 40 FR 42765]

The Bureau of the Census was established as a permanent office by act of 
March 6, 1902 (32 Stat. 51). The major functions of the Bureau are 
authorized by the Constitution, which provides that a census of 
population shall be taken every 10 years, and by laws codified as title 
13 of the United States Code. The law also provides that 

[[Page 156]]
the information collected by the Bureau from individual persons, 
households, or establishments be kept strictly confidential and be used 
only for statistical purposes.
    The principal functions of the Bureau include:
    --decennial censuses of population and housing;
    --quinquennial censuses of agriculture, State and local governments, 
manufacturers, mineral industries, distributive trades, construction 
industries, and transportation;
    --current surveys that provide information on many of the subjects 
covered in the censuses at monthly, quarterly, annual, or other 
intervals;
    --compilation of current statistics on U.S. foreign trade, including 
data on imports, exports, and shipping;
    --special censuses at the request and expense of States and local 
government units;
    --publication of estimates and projections of the population;
    --current data on population and housing characteristics; and
    --current reports on manufacturing, retail and wholesale trade, 
services, construction, imports and exports, State and local government 
finances and employment, and other subjects.
    The Bureau makes available statistical results of its censuses, 
surveys, and other programs to the public through printed reports, 
computer tape, CD-ROM's, microfiche, and other media and prepares 
special tabulations sponsored and paid for by data users. It also 
produces statistical compendia, catalogs, guides, and directories that 
are useful in locating information on specific subjects. Upon request, 
the Bureau makes searches of decennial census records and furnishes 
certificates to individuals for use as evidence of age, relationship, or 
place of birth. A fee is charged for such searches.

Bureau of Economic Analysis

[For the Bureau of Economic Analysis statement of organization, see the 
Federal Register of Dec. 29, 1980, 45 FR 85496]

The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) is the Nation's economic 
accountant--integrating and interpreting a variety of source data to 
draw a complete and consistent picture of the U.S. economy. BEA's 
economic accounts provide information on such key issues as economic 
growth, regional development, 

[[Page 158]]
and the Nation's position in the world economy.
    The national income and product accounts--featuring gross domestic 
product--provide a quantitative view of the production, distribution, 
and use of the Nation's output. BEA also prepares estimates of the 
Nation's tangible wealth and input-output tables that show how 
industries interact. In addition, BEA maintains a system of leading, 
coincident, and lagging indicators to track business cycles.
    The regional economic accounts provide estimates of personal income, 
population, and employment for regions, States, and metropolitan areas. 
BEA prepares estimates of gross state product and projections of 
regional economic activity.
    The international economic accounts encompass U.S. international 
transactions (balance of payments) with foreign countries and the 
international investment position of the United States. BEA provides 
survey-based data on foreign direct investment in the United States and 
U.S. direct investment abroad.

Bureau of Export Administration

[For the Bureau of Export Administration statement of organization, see 
the Federal Register of June 7, 1988, 53 FR 20881]

The Bureau of Export Administration was established as a separate agency 
within the Department of Commerce on October 1, 1987, to separate the 
functions of export promotion and export control as mandated by the 
Export Administration Act, as amended (50 U.S.C. app. 2401 et seq.).
    The Bureau directs the Nation's export control policy. Major 
functions include processing license applications, conducting foreign 
availability studies to determine when products should be decontrolled, 
and enforcing U.S. export control laws.
Export Administration  This office oversees export licensing, technology 
and policy analysis, economic security and nonproliferation issues, and 
foreign availability determinations. These activities are instrumental 
in reducing processing time for granting export licenses and in keeping 
the list of controlled technology consistent with current risks. This 
office also works with our allies in seeking stronger, more uniform ways 
of controlling strategic exports.
Export Enforcement  This office investigates breaches of U.S. export 
control laws and analyzes export intelligence to assess diversion risks. 
In addition, this office administers and enforces the antiboycott 
provisions of the Export Administration Act.

Economic Development Administration

The Economic Development Administration (EDA) was created in 1965 under 
the Public Works and Economic Development Act (42 U.S.C. 3121) as part 
of an effort to target Federal resources to economically distressed 
areas and to help develop local economies in the United States. EDA was 
mandated to assist rural and urban communities that were outside the 
mainstream economy and that, as a result, lagged in economic 
development, industrial growth, and personal income.
    EDA's economic development assistance programs (EDAP's) are carried 
out through a network of headquarters and regional personnel. EDA 
provides grants for public works and development facilities, planning 
and coordination, defense conversion, and other financial assistance 
that help to reduce substantial and persistent unemployment in 
economically distressed areas.
     Public works and development facilities grants support 
infrastructure projects that foster the establishment or expansion of 
industrial and commercial businesses, supporting the retention and 
creation of jobs.
    Planning grants support the design and implementation of effective 
economic development policies and programs, by local development 
organizations, in States and communities.
    Technical assistance grants provide for local feasibility and 
industry studies, management and operational assistance, natural 
resource development, and export promotion. In addition, EDA funds a 
network of university centers that provides technical assistance.
    Research, evaluation, and demonstration funds are used to support 
studies about the causes of economic distress and to seek solutions to 
counteract and prevent such problems.
    Economic readjustment grants help communities adjust to a gradual 
erosion or sudden dislocation of their local economic structure.
    Defense conversion grants assist communities adversely affected by 
Department of Defense base closures and defense contract cutbacks, as 
well as Department of Energy realignments, by providing development 
tools that can be effectively and easily implemented.
    The Trade Adjustment Assistance Program provides technical 
assistance to certified firms and industries which have been 
economically injured by the impact of decreased imports. Comprehensive 
technical assistance is provided through the Department's wide-ranging 
network of assistance centers.

Minority Business Development Agency

[For the Minority Business Development Agency statement of organization, 
see the Federal Register of Mar. 17, 1972, 37 FR 5650, as amended]

The Minority Business Development Agency, formerly the Office of 
Minority Business Enterprise, was established by the Secretary of 
Commerce on November 1, 1979, and operates under the authority of 
Executive Order 11625 of October 13, 1971. The Agency develops and 
coordinates a national program for minority business enterprise.
    The Agency was created to assist minority businesses in achieving 
effective and equitable participation in the American free enterprise 
system and in overcoming social and economic disadvantages that have 
limited their participation in the past. The Agency provides national 
policies and leadership in forming and strengthening a partnership of 
business, industry, and government with the Nation's minority 
businesses.
    Management and technical assistance is provided to minority firms on 
request, primarily through a network of Minority Business Development 
Centers funded by the Agency, as well as Minority Enterprise Growth 
Assistance (MEGA) Centers. Specialized business assistance is available 
to minority firms or potential entrepreneurs.
    The Agency promotes and coordinates the efforts of other Federal 
agencies in assisting or providing market opportunities for minority 
business. It coordinates opportunities for minority firms in the private 
sector. Through such public and private cooperative activities, the 
Agency promotes the participation of Federal, State, and local 
governments, and business and industry in directing resources for the 
development of strong minority businesses.

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

U.S. Department of Commerce, Washington, DC 20230
Phone, 202-482-2985

[For the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration statement of 
organization, see the Federal Register of Feb. 13, 1978, 43 FR 6128]

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration was formed on 
October 3, 1970, by Reorganization Plan No. 4 of 1970 (5 U.S.C. app.). 
Its principal functions are authorized by title 15, chapter 9, United 
States Code (National Weather Service); title 33, chapter 17, United 
States Code (National Ocean Survey); and title 16, chapter 9, United 
States Code (National Marine Fisheries Service).
    The Administration's mission is to explore, map, and chart the 
global ocean and its living resources and to manage, use, and conserve 
those resources; to describe, monitor, and predict conditions in the 
atmosphere, ocean, Sun, and space environment; to issue warnings against 
impending destructive natural events; to assess the consequences of 
inadvertent environmental modification over several scales of time; and 
to manage and disseminate long-term environmental information.
    Among its principal activities, the Administration reports the 
weather of the United States and its possessions and provides weather 
forecasts to the general public; issues warnings against such 
destructive natural events as hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, and 
tsunamis; and provides services in support of aviation, marine 
activities, agriculture, forestry, urban air-quality control, and other 
weather-sensitive activities. The Administration also monitors and 
reports all non-Federal weather modification activities conducted in the 
United States.
    The Administration conducts an integrated program of management, 
research, and services related to the protection and rational use of 
living marine resources and their habitats, and protects marine mammals 
and endangered marine species. It prepares and issues nautical and 
aeronautical charts, provides the Nation's precise geodetic surveys, and 
conducts broad research programs in marine and atmospheric sciences, 
solar-terrestrial physics, and experimental meteorology, including 
weather modification. The Administration also predicts tides, currents, 
and the state of the oceans; conducts research and development aimed at 
providing alternatives to ocean dumping; and develops sound national 
policies in the areas of ocean mining and energy. It provides Federal 
leadership in promoting wise and balanced management of the Nation's 
coastal zone.
    In addition, the Administration provides satellite observations of 
the 

[[Page 164]]
environment by operating a national environmental satellite system; and 
conducts an integrated program of research and services relating to the 
oceans and inland waters, the lower and upper atmosphere, space 
environment, and the Earth to increase understanding of the geophysical 
environment. It acquires, stores, and disseminates worldwide 
environmental data through a system of meteorological, oceanographic, 
geodetic, and seismological data centers.
    The Administration also administers and directs the oceanic research 
programs by providing grants to institutions for marine research, 
education, and advisory services; develops a system of data buoys for 
automatically obtaining and disseminating marine environmental data; and 
promotes the development of technology to meet future needs of the 
marine community.

[For the National Telecommunications and Information Administration 
statement of organization, see the Federal Register of June 5, 1978, 43 
FR 24348]

The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) 
was established in 1978 pursuant to Reorganization Plan No. 1 of 1977 (5 
U.S.C. app.) and Executive Order 12046 of March 27, 1978 (3 CFR, 1978 
Comp., p. 158), by combining the Office of Telecommunications Policy, 
Executive Office of the President, and the Department of Commerce's 
Office of Telecommunications to form a new agency reporting to the 
Secretary of Commerce. NTIA's functions are detailed in the National 
Telecommunications and Information Administration Organization Act (47 
U.S.C. 901 et. seq.).
    The Public Telecommunications Facilities Program (PTFP) was 
transferred to NTIA in 1979 from the Department of Health, Education, 
and Welfare pursuant to the Public Telecommunications Financing Act of 
1978 (47 U.S.C. 390 et seq.), to take advantage of NTIA's technical and 
policy expertise. Also, NTIA is administering the National Endowment for 
Children's Educational Television under title 47 United States Code, 
section 394.
    NTIA's principal responsibilities and functions include:
    --serving as the principal executive branch adviser to the President 
on telecommunications and information policy;
    --developing and presenting U.S. plans and policies at international 
communications conferences and related meetings;
    --prescribing policies for and managing Federal use of the radio 
frequency spectrum, in accordance with Executive Order 12046, issued 
under section 305 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (47 
U.S.C. 305);

[[Page 166]]

    --serving as the principal Federal telecommunications research and 
engineering laboratory, through NTIA's Institute for Telecommunication 
Sciences (ITS), headquartered in Boulder, Colorado;
    --providing grants through the Telecommunications and Information 
Infrastructure Assistance Program for planning and demonstration 
projects to promote the goals of the development and widespread 
availability of advanced telecommunications technologies, to enhance the 
delivery of social services and generally serve the public interest, to 
promote access to government information and increase civic 
participation, and to support the development of an advanced nationwide 
telecommunications and information infrastructure;
    --providing grants through the Public Telecommunications Facilities 
Program to extend delivery of public telecommunications services to U.S. 
citizens, to increase ownership and management by women and minorities, 
and to strengthen the capabilities of existing public broadcasting 
stations to provide telecommunications services; and
    --providing grants through the National Endowment for Children's 
Educational Television to enhance the creation and production of 
educational television programming for children to develop fundamental 
intellectual skills.

Federal Register of Apr. 14, 1975, 40 FR 16707]

The patent system was established by Congress ``. . . to promote the 
progress of . . . the useful arts. . .'' under Article I, section 8, 
U.S. Constitution (title 35, United States Code: Patents). The 
registration of trademarks is based on the commerce clause of the U.S. 
Constitution (title 15 United States Code, chapter 22: Trademarks). The 
Patent and Trademark Office grants patents and registers trademarks to 
qualified applicants.
    The Office examines applications for three kinds of patents: design 
patents (issued for 14 years), plant patents, and utility patents 
(issued for 17 years). Also, the Office issues Statutory Invention 
Registrations, which have the defensive but not the enforceable 
attributes of a patent. It also processes international applications for 
patents under the provisions of the Patent Cooperation Treaty, 
including, as of July 1, 1986, the examination provisions of chapter II 
of the Treaty.
    About 107,000 patents were issued for fiscal year 1993 that provide 
inventors with exclusive rights to the results of their creative 
efforts. Patents and trademarks may be reviewed and searched in the 
Office and in over 78 patent and trademark depository libraries around 
the country. The patent system fosters innovation, investment in 
developing and marketing inventions, and prompt disclosure of 
technological information.
    About 86,122 trademarks were registered for fiscal year 1993, and 
6,182 trademark registrations were renewed. A trademark includes any 
distinctive word, name, symbol, device, or any combination thereof 
adopted and used, or intended to be used, by a manufacturer or merchant 
to identify his goods or services and distinguish them from those 
manufactured or sold by others. Trademarks, registered for 10 years, 
with renewal rights of equal term, are examined by the Office for 
compliance with various statutory requirements to prevent unfair 
competition and consumer deception.

    In addition to the examination of patent and trademark applications, 
issuance of patents, and registration of trademarks, the Patent and 
Trademark Office:
    --sells printed copies of issued patents and trademark 
registrations;
    --records and indexes documents transferring ownership;
    --maintains a scientific library and search files containing over 30 
million documents, including U.S. and foreign patents and U.S. 
trademarks;

Technology Administration

The Technology Administration was established by Congress in 1988 (15 
U.S.C. 3704) and consists of the Office of Technology Policy (OTP), the 
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and the National 
Technical Information Service (NTIS). The Technology Administration is 
headed by the Under Secretary for Technology who serves as a principal 
advisor to the Secretary of Commerce and as the Department's 
spokesperson for science and technology issues.
    The Technology Administration serves as the premier technology 
agency working with U.S. industry in addressing competitiveness, and in 
exercising leadership both within the Department of Commerce and 
governmentwide. It discharges this role through OTP by advocating 
coherent policies for maximizing the impact of technology on economic 
growth, through NIST by carrying out technology programs with U.S. 
industry, and through NTIS by disseminating technology information.

For further information, call 202-482-1575.

Office of Technology Policy

The primary role of the Office of Technology Policy is to offer 
assistance to private sector and government communities in advocating 
and pursuing policies that maximize the impact of technology on economic 
growth, and by exercising leadership to define the role of government in 
supporting U.S. industrial competitiveness in the post-cold war 
environment. OTP serves as a liaison to the private sector to identify 
barriers to the rapid commercialization of technology, elicits support 
for Administration civilian technology policies, and ensures that 
industry's interests are reflected in standards and technology 
agreements and civilian technology policy. OTP also assists Federal, 
State, and local officials, industry, and academic institutions in 
promoting the technological growth and competitiveness of the U.S. 
economy.

For further information, call 202-482-5687.

National Institute of Standards and Technology

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) assists 
industry in developing technology to improve product quality; modernizes 
manufacturing processes; ensures product reliability; and facilitates 
rapid

[[Page 168]]

commercialization of products based on new scientific discoveries.
    NIST's primary mission is to promote U.S. economic growth by working 
with industry to develop and apply technology, measurements, and 
standards. It carries out this mission through four major programs:
    --an Advanced Technology Program (ATP) that provides cost-shared 
awards to industry to develop high-risk technologies that can enable 
significant commercial advances;
    --a grassroots Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) that helps 
small and medium-sized companies to access regional and national sources 
of information, knowledge, and insight into the use of modern 
manufacturing and production technologies;
    --a strong laboratory effort planned and implemented in cooperation 
with industry that focuses on infrastructural technologies such as 
measurements, standards, evaluated data, and test methods. Research is 
mainly performed in the areas of: electronics and electrical 
engineering, manufacturing engineering, chemical science and technology, 
physics, materials science and engineering, building and fire research, 
computer systems, and computing and applied mathematics; and
    -- a quality improvement program that is associated with the Malcolm 
Baldrige National Quality Award. The award recognizes quality 
achievements in the areas of manufacturing, service, and small business.
