Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 114 / Thursday, June 13, 2013 / Notices 35605 

and makes its recommendations for the 

Medal to the Secretary. Committee 

members are distinguished experts in 

the fields of science, technology, 

business, and patent law drawn from 

both the public and private sectors and 

are appointed by the Secretary for threeyear terms. 

The NMTI Nomination Evaluation 

Committee was established in 

accordance with the FACA. The 

Committee meeting will be closed to the 

public in accordance with the FACA 

and 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(4), (6) and (9)(B), 

because the discussion of the relative 

merit of the Medal nominations is likely 

to disclose information of a personal 

nature that would constitute a clearly 

unwarranted invasion of personal 

privacy; premature disclosure of the 

Committee’s recommendations would 

be likely to significantly frustrate 

implementation of the Medal Program; 

and the meeting will include a 

Department of Commerce Ethics 

Division presentation and question and 

answer session which may be closed to 

protect the privileged and confidential 

personal financial information of 

Committee members. 

The Chief Financial Officer and 

Assistant Secretary for Administration, 

United States Department of Commerce, 

formally determined on June 6, 2013, 

pursuant to Section 10(d) of the FACA, 

that the meeting may be closed because 

Committee members are concerned with 

matters that are within the purview of 

5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(4), (6) and (9)(B). Due 

to closure of this meeting, copies of any 

minutes of the meeting will not be 

available. A copy of the determination 

is available for public inspection at the 

United States Patent and Trademark 

Office. 

Dated: June 10, 2013.
