    The Committee was established pursuant to Section 11 of the National Construction Safety Team Act (15 U.S.C. 7310). The Committee is composed of ten members appointed by the Director of NIST who were selected for their technical expertise and experience, established records of distinguished professional service, and their knowledge of issues affecting teams established under the NCST Act. The Committee will advise the Director of NIST on carrying out investigations of building failures conducted under the authorities of the NCST Act that became law in October 2002 and will review the procedures developed to implement the NCST Act and reports issued under section 8 of the NCST Act. Background information on the NCST Act and information on the NCST Advisory Committee is available at http://www.nist.gov/​ncst. The purpose of this meeting is to discuss the requirements of the NCST Act, how it is being implemented by NIST, and to provide an update on the two investigations that NIST is currently conducting under the Act: the World Trade Center (WTC) Investigation and the Rhode Island Nightclub Investigation. The agenda will also include a discussion on the NCST Advisory Committee Annual Report to Congress. The agenda may change to accommodate Committee business. The final agenda will be posted on the Internet at http://www.nist.gov/​ncst.

On December 2, 2003, approximately one hour will be reserved for public comments, and speaking times will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.
