renamed system of records entitled
‘‘COMMERCE/NIST–1, NIST
Associates.’’ The system of records
entitled ‘‘COMMERCE/NBS–1, Guest

system of records entitled ‘‘NIST–1,
Research Associates.’’ We invite public
comment on the system amendment
announced in this publication.
DATES: To be considered, written
comments must be submitted on or
