# SUMMARY:

The NRC will host a coordination meeting with key standards development organizations (SDOs) and other stakeholders.

This is consistent with the provisions of Public Law (Pub. L.) 104-113, the National Technology and Transfer Act of 1995, and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-119, “Federal Participation in the Development and Use of Voluntary Consensus Standards and Conformity Assessment.” The primary purpose of these meetings is to foster better communication between SDOs' and NRC regarding standards development and their use. This notice provides the date and agenda for the next meeting.
