SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

U.S.C. 1001 et seq.
Pursuant to the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. 1001 et
seq., notice is hereby given that the VCAT will meet on the dates and
at the times given in the DATES section.
The meeting will be partially closed as set forth in the DATES
section. The VCAT is composed of not fewer than nine members appointed
by the NIST Director, eminent in such fields as business, research, new
product development, engineering, labor, education, management
consulting, environment, and international relations. The primary
purpose of this meeting is for the VCAT to review and make
recommendations regarding general policy for NIST, its organization,
its budget, and its programs within the framework of applicable
national policies as set forth by the President and the Congress. The
agenda for the open portion of the meeting will include an update on
major programs at NIST. It will also include discussions on NIST
facilities, programmatic updates on safety, measurement science,
climate, and energy technologies, and artificial intelligence. During a
closed session on Wednesday, June 12, 2024, from 8:30 a.m. until 10:30
a.m. mountain time, the VCAT will discuss with senior NIST leadership
the agency's current and future budgets and related programmatic
prioritization approaches, the premature disclosure of which would
