Announcement of a Meeting To Discuss an Opportunity To Join a
Cooperative Research and Development Consortium for Developing a
Methodology for Evaluating Seams of Rubber Roofing Membranes

ACTION: Notice of public meeting.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
invites interested parties to attend a meeting on October 11, 1994 to
discuss the possibility of setting up a cooperative research consortium
on the development of a methodology for evaluating the long-term
performance of tape-bonded seams of vulcanized-rubber roofing
membranes. Parties interested in participating in the consortium should
be prepared to invest adequate resources in the collaboration and be
firmly committed to the goal of developing performance evaluation
methodology.
Any program undertaken will be within the scope and confines of The
Federal Technology Transfer Act of 1986 (Pub. L. 99-502, 15 U.S.C.
3710a), which provides federal laboratories including NIST, with the
authority to enter into cooperative research agreements with qualified
parties. Under this law, NIST may provide ``personnel, service,
facilities, equipment or other resources with or without reimbursement
(but not funds to non-federal parties)''--to the cooperative research
program.
The meeting will be held on October 11, 1994 at 8:30 a.m., room
B221, Building 226 at NIST in Gaithersburg, MD, for interested parties.
The meeting will discuss the possible formation of a research
consortium including NIST and industry to conduct research in this
area. This is not a grant program
DATES: The meeting will be held on October 11, 1994. Interested parties
should contact NIST to confirm their attendance at the address,
telephone number or FAX number shown below no later than September 30,
1994.
ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held at 8:30 a.m., room B221, Building
