SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background: The Travel Promotion
Act of 2009 (TPA) was signed into law
by President Obama on March 4, 2010.
The TPA established the Corporation for
Travel Promotion (the Corporation), as a
non-profit corporation charged with the
development and execution of a plan to
(A) provide useful information to those
interested in traveling to the United
States; (B) identify and address
perceptions regarding U.S. entry
policies; (C) maximize economic and
diplomatic benefits of travel to the
United States through the use of various
promotional tools; (D) ensure that
international travel benefits all States
and the District of Columbia, and (E)
identify opportunities to promote
tourism to rural and urban areas
equally, including areas not
traditionally visited by international
travelers.
The Corporation is governed by a
board of directors, consisting of 11
members with knowledge of
international travel promotion and
marketing, broadly representing various
regions of the United States. The TPA
directs the Secretary of Commerce (after
consultation with the Secretary of
Homeland Security and the Secretary of
State) to appoint the board of directors
for the Corporation.
At this time, the Department will be
selecting three individuals with the
appropriate expertise and experience
from specific sectors of the travel and
tourism industry to serve on the Board
as follows:
(A) 1 shall have appropriate expertise
and experience in small business or
retail or in associations representing

commitments of the Board. Priority may
be given to individuals with experience
as a Chief Executive Officer or President
(or comparable level of responsibility) of
an organization or entity in the travel
and tourism sector in the United States.
Board members serve at the discretion
of the Secretary of Commerce (who may
remove any member of the Board for
good cause). The terms of office of each
member of the Board appointed by the
Secretary shall be 3 years. Board
members can serve a maximum of two
consecutive full three-year terms. Board
members are not considered Federal
government employees by virtue of their
service as a member of the Board and
will receive no compensation from the
Federal government for their
participation in Board activities.

meetings and events may be paid actual
travel expenses and per diem when
away from their usual places of
residence.

requisite expertise and experience.
Individuals who have the requisite
expertise and experience in more than
one sector can be appointed for only one
of those sectors. Appointments of
members to the Board will be made by

uniformity among the states in laws,
regulations, methods, and testing
equipment that comprise the regulatory
control of commercial weighing and
measuring devices, packaged goods, and
other trade and commerce issues.
The following are brief descriptions of
some of the significant agenda items
that will be considered along with other
issues at the NCWM Annual Meeting.
Comments will be taken on these and
other issues during several public
comment sessions. At this stage, the
items are proposals. This meeting also
includes work sessions in which the
Committees may also accept comments
and discuss the recommendations up for
adoption at the 2014 Annual Meeting.
The Committees may withdraw or
carryover items that need additional
development.
Some of the items listed below
provide notice of projects under
development by groups working to
develop specifications, tolerances, and
other requirements for devices used in
the retail sales of engine fuels and the
establishment of approximate gallon
and liter equivalents to diesel fuel that
would be used in marketing both
compressed and liquefied natural gas.
Also included is a notice about efforts
to clarify a method of sale for
pressurized containers that utilize bagon-valve technology. These notices are
intended to make interested parties
aware of these projects and additional
information on each item may be given
at the Annual Meeting. The notices are
also presented to invite the participation
of manufacturers, experts, consumers,
users, and others who may be interested
in these efforts.
The Specifications and Tolerances
Committee (S&T Committee) will
consider proposed amendments to NIST
Handbook 44, ‘‘Specifications,
Tolerances, and other Technical
Requirements for Weighing and
Measuring Devices’’ (HB44). Those
items address weighing and measuring

applications, that is, devices that are
used to buy from or sell to the public
or used for determining the quantity of
product sold among businesses. Issues
on the agenda of the NCWM Laws and
Regulations Committee (L&R
Committee) relate to a proposal to
amend the ‘‘Uniform Method of Sale of
Commodities Regulation’’ and other
uniform regulations in NIST Handbook
130 ‘‘Uniform Laws and Regulations in
the area of Legal Metrology and Engine
Fuel Quality’’ (HB130).
