NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION
Sunshine Act Meetings; National
Science Board
The National Science Board (NSB),
pursuant to NSF regulations (45 CFR
part 614), the National Science
Foundation Act, as amended, (42 U.S.C.
1862n–5), and the Government in the
Sunshine Act (5 U.S.C. 552b), hereby
gives notice of the scheduling of
meetings for the transaction of NSB
business as follows:
DATE AND TIME: February 21, 2017 from
8:00 a.m. to 5:20 p.m., and February 22,
2017 from 8:15 a.m. to 2:20 p.m. EST.
PLACE: These meetings will be held at
the NSF headquarters, 4201 Wilson
Blvd., Room 1235, Arlington, VA 22230.
All visitors must contact the Board
Office (call 703–292–7000 or send an
email to nationalsciencebrd@nsf.gov) at
least 24 hours prior to the meeting and
provide your name and organizational

affiliation. Visitors must report to the
NSF visitor’s desk in the lobby of the
9th and N. Stuart Street entrance to
receive a visitor’s badge. Due to recent
security changes, visitors should allot
some extra time for the entrance
process.
WEBCAST INFORMATION: Public meetings
and public portions of meetings will be
webcast. To view the meetings, go to
https://www.tvworldwide.com/events/

site for additional information. Meeting
information and schedule updates (time,
place, subject matter, and status of
meeting) may be found at https://
www.nsf.gov/nsb/meetings/notices.jsp.
NOTICE RE MEETING TIME FLEXIBILITY: The
NSB is conducting a pilot project to
provide some flexibility around meeting
times during the February 2017
meetings. After the first meeting of each
day, actual meeting start and end times
will be allowed to vary by as much as
(but no more than) 15 minutes in either
direction. As an example, if a 10:00
meeting finishes at 10:45, the meeting
scheduled to begin at 11:00 may begin
at 10:45 instead. Similarly, the 10:00
meeting may be allowed to run over by
as much as 15 minutes if the meeting
chair decides the extra time is
warranted. The next meeting will start
no later than 11:15. No meeting will
start more than 15 minutes away from
its originally scheduled start.
NSB is implementing this pilot to
improve the quality of NSB and
committee discussions, and to make
more effective and efficient use of NSB
members’ limited in-person meeting
time. In prior meetings, the NSB has
experienced unusable time after short
meetings, and has rushed the discussion
of important matters to meet the clock.
After the meeting day has begun,
please arrive at the NSB boardroom or
check the webcast 15 minutes before the
scheduled start time of the meeting you
wish to observe. Members of the public
are invited to provide feedback on the
scheduling flexibility pilot. Contact:
nationalsciencebrd@nsf.gov.
