    DOC has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for

the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).
    Agency: Bureau of the Census.
    Title: National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) 
Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) Program Evaluation Survey.

efficiency, and initiate a program-wide management information and 
evaluation system. The survey will be administered using Computer 
Assisted Telephone Interviewing (CATI) technology.
