I. Abstract
Manufacturing Extension Partnership
(MEP) is a national network of locally
based manufacturing extension centers
that assists small- and medium-sized
manufacturers to improve their
productivity, improve profitability, and
enhance their economic
competitiveness. The information
collected will provide the MEP with
information regarding MEP Center
performance regarding the delivery of
technology, and business solutions to
U.S.-based manufacturers. The collected
information will assist in determining
the performance of the MEP Centers at
both local and national levels, provide
information critical to monitoring and
reporting on MEP programmatic
performance, and assist management in
policy decisions. Responses to the
collection of information are mandatory
per the regulations governing the
operation of the MEP Program (15 CFR
parts 290, 291, 292, and H.R. 1274—
section 2). The information collected
will include center inputs and activities
including services delivered, clients
served, center staff, quarterly expenses
and revenues, partners, strategic plan,
operation plans, and client success
stories. No confidentiality for
information submitted is promised or
provided. In order to reflect new
initiatives and new data needs, NIST
MEP has identified a need to revise its
existing reporting processes by
modifying existing reporting elements
that will enable NIST MEP to better
monitor and assess the extent to which
the Centers are meeting program goals
and milestones.
