(NITRD) Program National Coordination
Office (NCO), National Science
Foundation.
ACTION: Notice of meeting; correction.
AGENCY:
The notice published in the
Federal Register on November 5, 2021
contained an incorrect amount of
funding for 1991. This notice corrects
that amount. The NITRD Subcommittee
will hold a virtual public meeting to
mark the 30th anniversary of the signing
of the High-Performance Computing
(HPC) Act of 1991 and the launching of
the High-Performance Computing and
Communications Program, now known
as the NITRD Program. One of the key
parts of this legislation was to establish
an effective mechanism to coordinate
HPC, networking, and information
technology (IT) research and
development (R&D) undertaken by the
agencies of the Federal Government.
The legislation also expanded Federal
funding support for HPC and IT R&D to
ensure continued technological
leadership in these areas by the United
States. The Act aimed to provide U.S.
researchers and educators, as well as
government and the public, with the
advanced computing and information
resources they needed for achievement
of personal, business, and public goals.
The NITRD mission has expanded over
the last three decades as the capabilities
of advanced computing, networking,
and IT technologies increased
dramatically. Join us as we recognize
and celebrate the origins and expansion
of America’s IT innovation highway.
DATES: December 2, 2021.
ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held
virtually through Zoom, 12 Noon (EST).
Instructions: Registration is required.
You will be asked to provide your name,
email address, and affiliation. The
meeting link will be available on

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
NITRD Program is the Nation’s primary
source of federally funded IT R&D,
critical to promoting and protecting
American leadership in science and
technology (S&T) innovation. The
NITRD Program focuses its work on
addressing strategic IT R&D imperatives
that lead to cutting-edge computing,
networking, and information
technologies that support U.S. national
security, economic competitiveness, and
individual health and well-being. One
of the key parts of the 1991 legislation
was to establish a mechanism to lead
the coordination and planning of
multiagency and multisector HPC R&D
to maximize the effectiveness of the
Federal Government’s R&D investments
and the transition of discoveries to
societal benefit. This vital mission has
expanded over the years to include
coordination of Federal agencies’ R&D
broadly across critical computing- and
IT-related topics in advanced wireless
technologies, artificial intelligence, big
data, cybersecurity, health IT,
networked physical systems, privacy
protection, robotics, and software
productivity and sustainability.
Through NITRD, Federal agencies
exchange information; collaborate on
research activities such as testbeds,
workshops, strategic planning, and
cooperative solicitations; and focus their
R&D resources on common goals of
making new discoveries and/or
developing new technology solutions to
address our Nation’s most critical
priorities. As an example, NITRD-linked
HPC and IT R&D underpinned U.S.
leadership in fighting COVID–19, not
only to speed discovery of therapeutics
and vaccines but also to support
Americans in conducting their
education, healthcare, personal
relationships, and businesses remotely
wherever possible. The increased
national commitment to IT R&D has
been reflected in the growth in
combined investment by NITRD’s
Federal member agencies from less than
$500 million in 1991 to nearly $6.5
billion for FY2021. For more
