SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Assistant Secretary for Administration,
with the concurrence of the General Counsel, formally determined on
January 3, 2002, that portions of the meeting of the Advanced
Technology Program Advisory Committee which involve discussion of
proposed funding of the Advanced Technology Program may be closed in
accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(9)(B), because those portions of the
meetings will divulge matters the premature disclosure of which would
be likely to significantly frustrate implementation of proposed agency
actions; and that portions of meetings which involve discussion of
staffing of positions in ATP may be closed in accordance with 5 U.S.C.
552b(c)(6), because divulging information discussed in those portions
of the meetings is likely to reveal information of a personal nature
where disclosure would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of
personal privacy.
Dated: April 25, 2002.

Director.
