Pursuant to 41 CFR 102-3.150(b), the Federal Register notice for
this meeting is being published fewer than 15 calendar days prior to
the meeting as exceptional circumstances exist. It is imperative that
the meeting be held on March 9-10, 2023, to accommodate the tight
working timeline of the Commission as set forth in its charter.
Specifically, the charter requires the Commission to provide an oral
briefing of its preliminary findings to the NIST Director within 75
days of beginning its activities, and written findings within 150 days
of beginning its activities. The Commission intends to present its
preliminary findings to NIST leadership at this meeting. Postponing
this meeting would result in an unacceptable delay in the Commission's
ability to report the findings and observations from the work of the
Commission's three subcommittees, collect additional information from
NIST staff at the Boulder campus, and to develop its final
recommendations for NIST leadership, until well into the fall. The
Federal Register notice could not be published previously due to
logistical requirements needed to accommodate the timing requirement of
the meeting, including unanticipated additional time required for
completion of the work of the Commission's three subcommittees that
will be reporting out at the meeting, and unanticipated additional time
required to confirm availability of a representative of a third-party
contractor to present on the results of the 2023 NIST Safety Culture
Survey it conducted.
Alicia Chambers,
NIST Executive Secretariat.
