The Board was established under the authority of 15 U.S.C.

composed of five members appointed by the Secretary of Commerce who are
eminent in such fields as information resources management, information
technology, and library and information services. The purpose of the
meeting is to review and make recommendations regarding general
policies and operations of NTIS, including policies in connection with
fees and charges for its services. The agenda will include a progress
report on NTIS activities, an update on the progress of FedWorld, and a
discussion of NTIS' long range plans. The closed session discussion is
scheduled to begin at 8:30 a.m. and end at 12:30 p.m. on March 10,
1998. The session will be closed because premature disclosure of the
information to be discussed would be likely to significantly frustrate
implementation of NTIS' business plans.
