SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant
to the Federal Advisory Committee Act,
5 U.S.C. app. 2, notice is hereby given
that the NMTI Nomination Evaluation
Committee, United States Patent and
Trademark Office, will meet at the
United States Patent and Trademark
Office campus in Alexandria, Virginia.
The NMTI Nomination Evaluation
Committee was established in
accordance with the provisions of the
NMTI Nomination Evaluation
Committee’s charter and the Federal
Advisory Committee Act. The NMTI
Nomination Evaluation Committee
meeting will be closed to the public in
accordance with section 552b(c)(4), (6)
and (9)(B) of Title 5, United States Code,
because it will involve discussion of
relative merits of persons and
companies nominated for the NMTI.
Public disclosure of this information
would likely frustrate implementation
of the NMTI program because premature
publicity about candidates under
consideration for the NMTI award, who
may or may not ultimately receive the
award, would be likely to discourage
nominations for the award. The
Secretary of Commerce is responsible
for recommending to the President
prospective NMTI recipients. The NMTI
Nomination Evaluation Committee
makes its recommendations for the
NMTI candidates to the Secretary of
Commerce, who in turn makes
recommendations to the President for
final selection. NMTI Nomination
Evaluation Committee members are
drawn from both the public and private
sectors and are appointed by the
Secretary for three-year terms, with
eligibility for one reappointment. The
NMTI Nomination Evaluation
Committee members are composed of
distinguished experts in the fields of
science, technology, business and patent
law. The General Counsel formally
determined on November 21, 2008,
pursuant to section 10(d) of the Federal
Advisory Committee Act, 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 the meeting, copies of the
minutes of the meeting will not be
available. A copy of the determination
