                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 VCAT will meet on Tuesday,
                June 9, 2020, from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time, and Wednesday,
                June 10, 2020, from 8:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The meeting
                will be open to the public. The VCAT is composed of not fewer than 9
                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 will include an update on major programs at NIST
                including efforts on technology transfer, AI, cybersecurity and
                privacy, quantum science, advanced communications, and advanced
                manufacturing. The agenda may change to accommodate Committee business.
                The final agenda will be posted on the NIST website at http://www.nist.gov/director/vcat/agenda.cfm.
                 Individuals and representatives of organizations who would like to
                offer comments and suggestions related to the Committee's business are
                invited to request a place on the agenda. Approximately one-half hour
                will be reserved for public comments and speaking times will be
                assigned on a first-come, first-serve basis. The amount of time per
                speaker will be determined by the number of requests received, but is
                likely to be about 3 minutes each. The exact time for public comments
                will be included in the final agenda that will be posted on the NIST
                website at http://www.nist.gov/director/vcat/agenda.cfm. Questions from
