Notice of Public Meeting: Designing for 

Impact IV: Workshop on Building the 

National Network for Manufacturing 

Innovation 

AGENCY: Advanced Manufacturing 

Office, Office of Energy Efficiency and 

Renewable Energy, Department of 

Energy (DOE). 

ACTION: Notice of public meeting. 

SUMMARY: DOE’s Advanced 

Manufacturing Office, as part of the 

inter-agency Advanced Manufacturing 

National Program Office (AMNPO) 

announces the fourth of a series of 

public workshops entitled ‘‘Designing 

for Impact: Workshop on Building the 

National Network for Manufacturing 

Innovation. This workshop series 

provides a forum for the AMPNO to 

present on the proposed National 

Network for Manufacturing Innovation 

(NNMI) and its regional components, 

Institutes for Manufacturing Innovation 

(IMIs) and to provide an opportunity for 

public comment on the proposal. The 

discussion at the workshop will focus 

on the following topics: Technologies 

with Broad Impact, Institute Structure 

and Governance, Strategies for 

Sustainable Institute Operations, and 

Education and Workforce Development. 

The Designing for Impact workshop 

series is organized by representatives 

from the Department of Commerce, 

NIST; Department of Defense; 

Department of Energy; National 

Aeronautics and Space Administration; 

and National Science Foundation. 

DATES: The meeting will be held 

Thursday, October, 18 2012, from 7:30 

a.m. to 4:30 p.m. 

ADDRESSES: University of Colorado at 

Boulder, Law School, 2450 Kittredge

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

President has proposed that the federal 

government catalyze the creation of a 

NNMI as a central element of the U.S. 

response to the manufacturing 

competitiveness challenge.1 The 

proposed NNMI initiative focuses on 

strengthening and ensuring the long 

term competitiveness and job-creating 

power of U.S. manufacturing. The 

constituent IMIs would bring together 

industry, universities and community 

colleges, federal agencies, and U.S. 

states to accelerate innovation by 

investing in industrially-relevant 

manufacturing technologies with broad 

applications to bridge the gap between 

basic research and product 

development, provide shared assets to 

help companies—particularly small 

manufacturers—access cutting-edge 

capabilities and equipment, and create 

an unparalleled environment to educate 

and train students and workers in 

advanced manufacturing skills. Each 

IMI would serve as a regional hub of 

manufacturing excellence, providing the 

innovation infrastructure to support 

regional manufacturing and ensuring 

that our manufacturing sector is a key 

pillar in an economy that is built to last. 

Each IMI also would have a welldefined technology focus to address 

industrially-relevant manufacturing 

challenges on a large scale and to 

provide the capabilities and facilities 

required to reduce the cost and risk of 

commercializing new technologies. In 

his March 9, 2012 announcement, 

President Obama proposed building a 

national network consisting of up to 15 

IMIs. 

On May 4, 2012 the AMNPO issued 

a Request for Information (RFI), seeking 

public comment on specific questions 

related to the structure and operations 

of the NNMI and IMIs. (77 FR 26509) 

The RFI was published in the Federal 

Register and may be found at: http://

www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2012-05-04/

pdf/2012-10809.pdf. Comments in 

response to the RFI are due on or before 

11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on October 25, 

2012. Those interested in providing 

written comments in response to the RFI 

should refer to the May 4, 2012 notice 

for information regarding submission of 

comments. 

Tentative Agenda (Subject To Change) 

An agenda will be posted online 

when available at: http://manufacturing.

gov/amp/ampevents.html. This meeting 

is an opportunity for participants to 

provide, based on their individual 

experience, individual information and 

facts regarding this topic. It is not the 

object of this session to obtain any 

group position or consensus. Rather, the 

Department is seeking as many 

recommendations as possible from all 

individuals at this meeting. 

Registration and Accommodations 

Individuals planning to attend the 

fourth public workshop must sign-up in 

advance. Announcements of additional 

workshops may be found at: http://

www.manufacturing.gov/amp/

ampevents.html. Future workshops will 

also be announced in the Federal 

Register.
