Advanced Technology Program

The National Institute of Standards and Technology requests comments on proposed revisions to the regulations which implement the Advanced Technology Program (ATP), found at part 295 of title 15 of the Code of Federal Regulations. Major changes proposed today include an increase in the cost-sharing requirement for large companies applying as single proposers in future competitions; modification of the ATP evaluation criteria for project selection to place greater emphasis on joint ventures and consortia with a broad range of participants; and changes in the valuation of transfers between separately-owned joint venture members and applies to transfers of goods, including computer software, and services provided by the transferor related to the maintenance of those goods, when those goods or services are transferred from one joint venture member to other separately-owned joint venture members. These changes strengthen the fundamental mission of the ATP: for Government to work in partnership with industry to foster the development and broad dissemination of challenging, high- risk technologies that offer the potential for significant, broad-based economic benefits for the nation.
