NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION 

Sunshine Act; Proposal Review; Notice 

of Meetings 

In accordance with the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act (Pub. L. 92–

463, as amended), the National Science 

Foundation (NSF) announces its intent 

to hold proposal review meetings 

throughout the year. The purpose of 

these meetings is to provide advice and 

recommendations concerning proposals 

submitted to the NSF for financial 

support. The agenda for each of these 

meetings is to review and evaluate 

proposals as part of the selection 

process for awards. The review and 

evaluation may also include assessment 

of the progress of awarded proposals. 

The majority of these meetings will take 

place at NSF, 4201 Wilson Blvd., 

Arlington, Virginia 22230. 

These meetings will be closed to the 

public. The proposals being reviewed 

include information of a proprietary or 

confidential nature, including technical 

information; financial data, such as 

salaries; and personal information 

concerning individuals associated with 

the proposals. These matters are exempt 

under 5 U.S.C. 552b(c), (4) and (6) of the 

Government in the Sunshine Act. NSF 

will continue to review the agenda and 

merits of each meeting for overall 

compliance of the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act. 

These closed proposal review 

meetings will no longer be announced 

on an individual basis in the Federal 

Register. NSF intends to publish a 

notice similar to this on a quarterly 

basis. For an advance listing of the 

closed proposal review meetings that 

include the names of the proposal 

review panel and the time, date, place, 

and any information on changes, 

corrections, or cancellations, please visit 

the NSF Web site: http://www.nsf.gov/ 

events/advisory.jsp. This information 

may also be requested by telephoning
