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; 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, 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.

Business Liaison  This office develops and promotes a cooperative

relationship and ensures effective communication between the Department 
of Commerce and the business community. The Office's objectives are 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.

For further information, call 202-482-3942.

Consumer Affairs  The Office of Consumer Affairs seeks to promote a 
better understanding between businesses and consumers, to help 
businesses improve the quality of their services, to educate consumers 
to make wise purchasing decisions, and to provide the consumer viewpoint 
in the development of policy. The Office assists consumers with 
marketplace issues and educates them about resources that are available 
to help them; publishes guides to help businesses respond to consumer 
needs; and represents and coordinates the Department's consumer affairs 
activities with consumer groups, other Federal, State, county, and 
municipal government agencies, and international organizations.

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. It 
assures that small firms fully participate in Commerce programs and 
receive the maximum amount of Commerce contract and subcontract dollars.
    The Office is the focal point of the Department'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.
    It 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.
    The Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization was 
established by the Small Business Act, as amended (15 U.S.C. 644).

For further information, call 202-482-1472.

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 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 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;
    --publication of 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, the Internet, 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 searches.

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. It 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.
    The Administration's economic development assistance programs 
(EDAP's) are carried out through a network of headquarters and regional 
personnel. It 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

[[Page 155]]

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.

International Trade Administration

[For the International Trade Administration statement of organization, 
see the Federal Register of Jan. 25, 1980, 45 FR 6148]

The International Trade Administration was established on January 2, 
1980, by the Secretary of Commerce to promote world trade and to 
strengthen the international trade and investment position of the United 
States.
    The Administration is headed by the Under Secretary for 
International Trade, who coordinates all issues concerning trade 
promotion, international commercial policy, market access, and trade law 
enforcement. The Administration is responsible for nonagricultural trade 
operations of the U.S. Government and supports the trade policy 
negotiation efforts of the U.S. Trade Representative.
Import Administration  The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Import 
Administration defends American industry against injurious and unfair 
trade practices by administering efficiently, fairly, and in a manner 
consistent with U.S. international trade obligations the antidumping and 
countervailing duty laws of the United States; the machine tool 
arrangements with Japan and Taiwan under the President's Machine Tool 
Program. The Office ensures the proper administration of foreign trade 
zones and advises the Secretary on establishment of new zones; and 
administers programs governing watch assemblies, and other statutory 
import programs.
Market Access and Compliance  The Office of the Assistant Secretary for 
Market Access and Compliance advises on the analysis, formulation, and 
implementation of U.S. international economic policies and carries out 
programs to promote international trade, improve access by U.S. 
companies to overseas markets, and strengthen the international trade 
and investment position of the United States. Through the five regional 
Deputy Assistant Secretaries (Europe; Western Hemisphere; Asia and the 
Pacific; Africa and the Near East; and Japan), the Office analyzes and 
develops recommendations for region- and country-specific international 
economic, trade, and investment policy strategies and objectives. In 
addition, the Office is responsible for implementing, monitoring, and 
enforcing foreign compliance with bilateral and multilateral trade 
agreements.
Trade Development  The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Trade 
Development advises on international trade and investment policies 
pertaining to U.S. industrial sectors, carries out programs to 
strengthen domestic export competitiveness, and promotes U.S. industry 
participation in international markets. The Office manages an integrated 
trade development program that includes industry analysis, advocacy 
support, and trade assistance organized by industry sectors.
U.S. and Foreign Commercial Service  The U.S. and Foreign Commercial 
Service develops, produces, markets, and manages an effective line of 
high-quality products and services geared to the marketing information 
needs of the U.S. exporting and international business community. The 
Service delivers programs through 100 U.S. export assistance centers 
located in the United States, and 140 posts located in 78 countries 
throughout the world. It supports overseas trade promotion events; 
manages a variety of export promotion services and products; promotes 
U.S. products and services throughout the world market; conducts 
conferences and seminars in the United States; and assists State and 
private-sector organizations on export financing.

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.
    Business development services are provided to the minority business 
community through three vehicles: the Minority Business Opportunity 
Committees which disseminate information on business opportunities; the 
Minority Business Development Centers that provide management and 
technical assistance and other business development services; and 
Electronic Commerce which includes a Web page on the Internet that will 
show how to start a business and use of the Electronic Commerce to 
electronically match business with contract opportunities.
    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. Internet, http://www.noaa.gov/.

[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 (NOAA) 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).
    NOAA is the largest bureau within the Department of Commerce and is 
integral to providing the Department with an environmental perspective 
on issues having an impact on the Nation's resources and its economy. 
NOAA's mission entails environmental assessment, prediction, and 
stewardship. It is dedicated to monitoring and assessing the state of 
the environment in order to make accurate and timely forecasts to 
protect life, property, and natural resources, as well as to promote the 
economic well-being of the United States and to enhance its 
environmental security. As the Nation's premier environmental steward, 
NOAA is committed to protecting America's ocean, coastal, and living 
marine resources while promoting sustainable economic development.
    In order to undertake its mission, NOAA has a strategic plan of 
seven interrelated goals falling under two broad themes of (1) 
environmental assessment and prediction with the goals of advancing 
short-term warnings and forecasts, implement seasonal to interannual 
climate forecasts, predict and assess decadal-to-centennial climate 
change, and promote safe navigation, and (2) environmental stewardship, 
comprised of the goals to build sustainable fisheries, recover protected 
species, and sustain healthy coastal ecosystems.
    NOAA is structured into five primary, component line offices. These 
are the National Weather Service, the National Environmental Satellite, 
Data, and Information Service, the National Marine Fisheries Service, 
the National Ocean Service, and the Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric 
Research.

National Weather Service

The National Weather Service (NWS) provides daily forecasts and warnings 
for severe weather events such as hurricanes, tornadoes, winter storms, 
flooding, and tsunamis. With its modernization program, NWS will be able 
to maximize its use of advanced computer technology to capture, 
integrate, and analyze Doppler radar imagery and data from satellites 
and automated surface instruments, and to speed up the dissemination of 
its forecasts and warnings. This will allow NWS to provide the public 
with more localized, timely, and accurate forecasts, increasing the lead 
time it has to prepare for severe weather events. NWS also provides 
services in support of aviation and marine activities, agriculture, 
forestry, and urban air quality control.

East-West Highway, Silver Spring, MD 20910-3283. Phone, 301-713-0689. 
Fax, 301-713-0610. Internet, http://www.nws.noaa.gov/.

National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service

The National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service 
(NESDIS) operates the Nation's civilian geostationary and polar-orbiting 
environmental satellites. It also manages the largest collection of 
atmospheric, geophysical, and oceanographic data in the world. From 
these sources, NESDIS develops and provides, through various media, 
environmental data for forecasts, national security, and weather 
warnings to protect life and property. This data is

[[Page 161]]

also used to assist in energy distribution, the development of global 
food supplies, the management of natural resources, and in the recovery 
of downed pilots and mariners in distress.

For further information, contact the National Environmental Satellite, 
Data, and Information Service, Room 2069, 4401 Suitland Road, Suitland, 
MD 20233. Phone, 301-457-5115. Fax, 301-457-5276. Internet, http://
www.noaa.gov/nesdis/nesdis.html.

National Marine Fisheries Service

The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) supports the management, 
conservation, and sustainable development of domestic and international 
living marine resources. NMFS is involved in the stock assessment of the 
Nation's multi-billion dollar marine fisheries, protecting marine 
mammals and threatened species, habitat conservation operations, trade 
and industry assistance, and fishery enforcement activities.

For further information, contact the National Marine Fisheries Service, 
1315 East-West Highway, Silver Spring, MD 20910. Phone, 301-713-2239. 
Fax, 301-713-2258. Internet, http://kingfish.ssp.nmfs.gov/.

National Ocean Service

The National Ocean Service (NOS), works to balance the Nation's use of 
coastal resources through research, management, and policy. NOS monitors 
the health of U.S. coasts by examining how human use and natural events 
impact coastal ecosystems. Coastal communities rely on NOS for 
information about natural hazards so they can more effectively reduce or 
eliminate the destructive effects of coastal hazards. NOS assesses the 
damage caused by hazardous material spills and works to restore or 
replace the affected coastal resources. Through varied programs, NOS 
protects wetlands, water quality, beaches, and wildlife. In addition, 
NOS provides a wide range of navigational products and data that help 
vessels move safely through U.S. waters and provides the basic set of 
information that establishes the latitude, longitude, and elevation 
framework necessary for the Nation's surveying, navigation, positioning, 
and mapping activities.

For further information, contact the National Ocean Service, Room 13231, 
SSMC 4, 1305 East-West Highway, Silver Spring, MD 20910. Phone, 301-713-
3070. Fax, 301-713-4307. Internet, http://www.nos.noaa.gov/.

Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research

The Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) carries out 
research into such phenomena as El Nino, global warming, ozone 
depletion, solar storms that can disrupt telecommunications and 
electrical power systems, and coastal and Great Lakes ecosystems. OAR 
conducts and directs its research programs in coastal, marine, 
atmospheric, and space sciences through its own laboratories and 
offices, as well as through networks of university-based programs across 
the country.

For further information, contact the Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric 
Research, Room 11627, 1315 East-West Highway, Silver Spring, MD 20910. 
Phone, 301-713-2458. Fax, 301-713-0163. Internet, http://
www.oar.noaa.gov/.

Office of NOAA Corps Operations

NOAA also maintains a fleet of ships and aircraft under the auspices of 
its Office of NOAA Corps Operations. These are used for scientific, 
engineering, and technical services, as well as to serve as research 
platforms for gathering critical marine and atmospheric data in support 
of a number of NOAA's research programs. This includes flying 
``hurricane hunter'' aircraft into nature's most turbulent storms to 
collect data critical to hurricane research.

For further information, contact the Office of NOAA Corps Operations, 
Room 12857, 1315 East-West Highway, Silver Spring, MD 20910-3282. Phone,

National Telecommunications and Information Administration

[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. Its 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 administers the National Endowment for 
Children's Educational Television under title 47 United States Code, 
section 394.
    The Administration'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);
    --serving as the principal Federal telecommunications research and

Patent and Trademark Office

[For the Patent and Trademark Office statement of organization, see the 
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 (PTO) grants patents and registers 
trademarks to qualified applicants.
    The Office examines applications for patents to determine if the 
applicants are entitled to patents under the law and grants the patents 
when they are so entitled. The patent law provides for the granting of 
patents in three major categories: utility patents, design patents, and 
plant patents. The term of a design patent is 14 years from the date of 
grant. The term of utility and plant patents is 20 years measured from 
the earliest effective U.S. filing date, if the application for patent 
was filed on or after June 8, 1995.For utility or plant patents that 
were in force on June 8, 1995, or that result from an application filed 
prior to June 8, 1995, the term shall be the longer of 17 years measured 
from the date of grant or 20 years measured from the earliest effective 
U.S. filing date.
    All utility patents are subject to the payment of maintenance fees. 
Effective June 8, 1995, applicants may file provisional applications for 
patents in the PTO. Provisional applications are available for utility 
and plant inventions but not design inventions. Provisional applications 
are not examined and will become abandoned by operation of law within 
one year of the filing date of the provisional application. The 
provisional application itself cannot mature into a patent. However, if 
applicants wish to obtain a patent on the invention disclosed in a 
provisional application, applicants must file a nonprovisional 
application not later than 12 months from the filing date of the 
provisional application.
    The Office also 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 as an International Searching Authority 
under Chapter I of the Treaty and as an International Preliminary 
Examining Authority under Chapter II of the Treaty.
    Over 201,551 patents providing inventors with exclusive rights were 
issued for the fiscal year of 1998. Effective January 1, 1996, patentees 
have the right to exclude others from making, using, offering for sale, 
or selling the invention throughout the U.S. or importing the invention 
into the U.S. during the term of their patent. Patents and trademarks 
may be reviewed and searched in the PTO and in over 80 patent and 
trademark depository libraries throughout the country. The patent system 
fosters innovation, investment in developing and marketing inventions, 
and prompt disclosure of technological information.
    About 106,279 trademarks were registered for fiscal year 1998, and 
6,504 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

[[Page 167]]

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;
    --provides search rooms for the public to research their 
applications;
    --hears and decides appeals from prospective inventors and trademark 
applicants;
    --participates in legal proceedings involving the issue of patents 
or registration of trademarks;
    --advocates strengthening intellectual property protection 
worldwide;
    --compiles the Official Gazettes, a weekly notice of patents issued 
and trademarks registered by the Office, including other information; 
and
    --maintains a roster of patent agents and attorneys qualified and 
recognized to practice before the Office.

For further information, contact the Office of Public Affairs, Patent 
and Trademark Office, Washington, DC 20231. Phone, 703-305-8341. The 
Office's operations are located at 2121 Crystal Drive, Arlington, VA 
22202.

Technology Administration

The Technology Administration was established by Congress in 1988 (15 
U.S.C. 3704). It is headed by the Under Secretary for Technology, who 
serves as a principal adviser 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 the Office of Technology 
Policy (OTP) by advocating coherent policies for maximizing the impact 
of technology on economic growth; through the National Institute of 
Standards and Technology (NIST) by carrying out technology programs with 
U.S. industry; and through the National Technical Information Service 
(NTIS) by disseminating technology information. The Office of Space 
Commercialization, in the Office of the Under Secretary, develops 
policies fostering the competitiveness of the U.S. commercial space 
sector.

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. The Office serves as a liaison to the private sector, 
identifying barriers to the rapid commercialization of technology, 
eliciting support for Administration civilian technology policies, and 
ensuring that industry's interests are reflected in standards and 
technology agreements and civilian technology policy. It also assists 
Federal, State, and local officials, industry, and academic institutions 
in promoting the technological growth and competitiveness of the U.S. 
economy.

electronics and electrical engineering, manufacturing engineering, 
chemical science and technology, physics, materials science and 
engineering, building and fire research, and information technology;
    --a rigorously competitive Advanced Technology Program that provides 
cost-shared awards to industry to develop high-risk enabling 
technologies with broad economic potential;
    --a Manufacturing Extension Partnership, a nationwide network of 
extension centers and experts offering technical and business assistance 
to smaller manufacturers in adopting new technologies and business 
practices; and
    --a highly visible quality outreach program associated with the 
Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award that recognizes continuous 
improvements in quality management by U.S. manufacturers, service 
companies, education institutions, and health care organizations.

National Technical Information Service

The National Technical Information Service (NTIS) is the Nation's 
largest central clearinghouse and governmentwide resource for 
scientific, technical, engineering, and other business-related 
information. NTIS is largely a self-supporting agency, using revenue 
earned from the sale of its products and services to cover most of its 
costs. It acquires information from U.S. Government agencies and their 
contractors and grantees, as well as from foreign, primarily 
governmental, sources. Under the American Technology Preeminence Act, 
all Federal agencies are required to transfer unclassified scientific, 
technical, and engineering information resulting from federally funded 
research and development activities to NTIS.
    The NTIS collection of more than 3 million works covers a broad 
array of subjects and includes reports on the results of research and 
development and scientific studies on manufacturing processes, current 
events, and foreign and domestic trade; business and management studies; 
social, economic, and trade statistics; computer software and databases; 
health care reports, manuals, and data; environmental handbooks, 
regulations, economic studies, and applied technologies; directories to 
Federal laboratory and technical resources; and global competitive 
intelligence. The collection also includes audiovisual training 
materials in such areas as foreign languages, workplace safety and 
health, law enforcement, and fire services.
    Information products in the NTIS collection are cataloged in the 
NTIS Bibliographic Database, which is available on-line through 
commercial vendors, on CD-ROM from NTIS, and for recently acquired 
materials, via FedWorld, NTIS' on-line information network. FedWorld 
also provides public access to thousands of Government documents, 
connects to dozens of Federal on-line systems, and offers instant 
electronic delivery of selected NTIS products.

[[Page 169]]

    In addition to its information product offerings to the public, NTIS 
offers a broad range of services to assist Federal agencies in meeting 
their information dissemination needs. Services include Web site 
development, hosting, and interactive communications; development and 
replications of diskette and CD-ROM products; duplication of audio, 
visual, and multimedia materials; and warehousing and distribution of 
information items in virtually any format. NTIS also operates a joint 
venture program. Through partnership agreements with private 
individuals, firms, and other organizations, NTIS seeks to develop new 
information products and to open new channels of sales and distribution 
for its materials.
