I. Abstract
The objective of NIST Hollings
Manufacturing Extension Partnership
Program (HMEP) is to enhance
productivity, technological
performance, and strengthen the global
competitiveness of small- and mediumsized U.S.-based manufacturing firms.
Rather than creating products, services,
and programs from scratch, HMEP
works with partners to leverage
resources and bring those resources to
manufacturing clients. The nationwide
network, with its direct reach to the
nation’s manufacturers, has proven to be
invaluable to numerous Federal
government partners who utilize the
network to distribute valuable, cuttingedge information and resources.
This request is for the information
collection requirements associated with
submission of grant proposals for NIST
HMEP funding. The intent of the
collection is to meet statutory
requirements for NIST HMEP, as well as
VerDate Nov<24>2008
17:55 Aug 14, 2009
Jkt 217001
compliance with 15 U.S.C. 278k, as
implemented in 15 CFR part 290.
The manufacturing extension centers
(MECs) are part of the HMEP national
system of extension service providers.
Currently, the HMEP national system
consists of over 400 centers and field
offices located throughout the United
States and Puerto Rico. The information
regarding HMEP and the MECs is
provided in the information packet that
can be obtained as explained above or
on-line at https://www.mep.nist.gov.
The focus of a center is to provide
those manufacturing extension services
required by the small- and mediumsized manufacturers in its service region
utilizing the most cost-effective, local,
leveraged resources for those services. It
is not the intent of this program that the
centers perform research and
development.
