SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

This is a new submission by the U.S.

Department of Commerce’s National

Institute of Standards and Technology

(NIST). Previously, the information

collection was administered by the U.S.

Department of Commerce’s Census

Bureau. This collection activity is being

conducted in partnership with the

Census Bureau.

The Manufacturing Extension

Partnership (MEP) is a growing

nationwide system of services and

support for smaller manufacturers

giving them unprecedented access to

new technologies, resources, and

expertise. Sponsored by NIST, the MEP

is comprised of a network of locally

based Manufacturing Extension Centers.

Obtaining specific information from

clients about the impact of MEP services

is essential for NIST MEP officials to

evaluate program strengths and

weaknesses and plan improvements in

program effectiveness and efficiency.

This information is not available from

existing programs or other sources.

II. Method of Collection

The survey will be administered using

Computer Assisted Telephone

Interviewing (CATI) technology.
