Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 99 / Tuesday, May 21, 1996 / Notices 25481

invites interested parties to attend a

meeting on June 10–11, 1996 to discuss

setting up a cooperative research

consortium. The goal of the consortium

is to develop an integrated tool kit for

the manufacturing industry. Parties

interested in participating in the

consortium should be prepared to invest

adequate resources in the collaboration

and be firmly committed to the goal of

developing an integrated tool kit.

The program will be within the scope

and confines of The Federal Technology

Transfer Act of 1986 (Public Law 99–

502, 15 U.S.C. 3710a), which provides

federal laboratories, including NIST,

with the authority to enter into

cooperative research agreements with

qualified parties. Under this law, NIST

may contribute personnel, equipment

and facilities—but no funds—to the

cooperative research program.

Members will be expected to make an

in-kind contribution to the consortium’s

efforts in the form of test parts, product

data, process data, manufacturing

expertise, and personnel. The program

is expected to last 18 months. This is

not a grant program.

DATES: Interested parties should contact

NIST to confirm their interest and learn

the exact times and location at the

address, telephone number or FAX

number shown below no later than July

7, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Metrology Building, Room

A127, National Institute of Standards

and Technology, Gaithersburg, MD

20899.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Swee K. Leong, Telephone: 301–975–

5426; FAX: 301–258–9749.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Participating companies will contribute

product data, process data and a sample

test part containing typical machining

features that will be of similar size and

complexity as those found on the

company’s product. National Institute of

Standards and Technology (NIST) will

use this information to develop test

cases. NIST will use the data to integrate

and demonstrate software and hardware

systems within the Manufacturing

Engineering Took Kit project. The

project will produce a virtual

manufacturing system to demonstrate

how leading edge technology could be

applied to automate the creation of NC

programs for machining operations, to

conduct virtual NC tape try out, and to

validate a manufacturing data package.

The collaborative effort would allow

participating companies to evaluate

these leading edge technologies and

systems more thoroughly at NIST.

during 1995 and early 1996. The

proposed agenda also includes

preliminary review of industry

proposals relating to sale of amounts of

fish landed in excess of trip limits,

restrictions on transfers (including

leases) of limited entry permits,

allowing vessels to begin their landing

periods mid-month, and data collection.
