SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Authority: 15 U.S.C. 3711a(d)(1) and the
Federal Advisory Committee Act, as amended, 5 U.S.C. app.
Pursuant to the Federal Advisory Committee Act, as amended, 5
U.S.C. app., notice is hereby given that the Judges Panel will meet on
Monday, November 8, 2021 through Friday, November 12, 2021, from 10:00
a.m. until 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time each day. The Judges Panel is
composed of twelve members, appointed by the Secretary of Commerce,
with balanced representation from U.S. service, manufacturing,
nonprofit, education, and health care industries. Members are selected
for their familiarity with quality improvement operations and
competitiveness issues of manufacturing companies, service companies,
small businesses, nonprofits, health care providers, and educational
institutions. The purpose of this meeting is to review recommendations
from site visits and recommend 2021 Award recipients. The meeting is
closed to the public in order to protect the proprietary data to be
examined and discussed at the meeting.
The Acting Chief Financial Officer and Assistant Secretary for
Administration, with the concurrence of the Assistant General Counsel
for Employment, Litigation, and Information, formally determined,
pursuant to Section 10(d) of the Federal Advisory Committee Act, as
amended by Section 5(c) of the Government in the Sunshine Act, Public
Law 94-409, that the meeting of the Judges Panel may be closed to the
public in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(4), because the meeting is
likely to disclose trade secrets and commercial or financial
information obtained from a person and privileged or confidential; and
5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(9)(B) because the meeting is likely to disclose
information the premature disclosure of which would, in the case of any
agency, be likely to significantly frustrate implementation of a
proposed agency action. The meeting, which involves examination of
current Award applicant data from U.S. organizations and a discussion
of these data as compared to the Award criteria in order to recommend
Award recipients, will be closed to the public.
