National Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act celebrates 10th Anniversary
The Standards Engineering Society (SES) has published a
booklet to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the National
Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA).
The NTTAA, which was signed into law in March 1996, requires
federal agencies to use voluntary consensus standards wherever
possible, instead of creating government standards. It encourages
the federal government to work with the private sector and
improve the efficiency and effectiveness of government.
The SES report, "The National Technology Transfer and
Advancement Act: Celebrating 10 Years of Private-Public Partnership
Success in Standards Development," contains 30 examples
of how the NTTAA has had a positive impact in the United States
over the last decade.

a few moments to open.)
