| Public Law 104-113, National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (NTTAA) | The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) directs federal agencies with respect to their use of and participation in the development of voluntary consensus standards. The Act's objective is for federal agencies to adopt voluntary consensus standards, wherever possible, in lieu of creating proprietary, non-consensus standards. | https://www.nist.gov/standardsgov/ national-technology-transfer- and-advancement-act-1995 |
| Office of Management and Budget (OMB). Circular A-119, Federal Participation in the Development and Use of Voluntary Consensus Standards and in Conformity Assessment Activities (2016) | Revised OMB CircularA-119 establishes policies on Federal use and development of voluntary consensus standards and on conformity assessment activities. Pub. L. 104-113, the "National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995," codified existing policies in A-119, established reporting requirements, and authorized the National Institute of Standards and Technology to coordinate conformity assessment activities of the agencies. OMB is issuing this revision of the Circular in order to make the terminology of the Circular consistent with the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995, to issue guidance to the agencies on making their reports to OMB, to direct the Secretary of Commerce to issue policy guidance for conformity assessment, and to make changes for clarity. | https://www.federalregister.gov/ documents/ 2016/01/27/2016-01606/revision-of-omb -circular-no-a-119- federal-participation-in-the -development -and-use-of -voluntary |
| Principles for Federal Engagement in Standards Activities to Address National Priorities. Memorandum for the Heads of Executive Departments and Agencies (2012) | While recognizing the private sector leadership in standards development remains a primary strategy for government engagement in this development, this document also emphasizes that in limited policy areas, where a national priority has been identified in statute, regulation, or Administration policy, active engagement or a convening role by the Federal Government may be needed to accelerate standards development and implementation to help spur technological advances and broaden technology adoption. | OMB Report to the Congress on the Joint Committee Reductions for Fiscal Year 2018 (May 23, 2017) (29 pages, 1.74 MB) |

It summarizes stakeholder observations in response to the December 2010 Request For Information (RFI) issued by the National Institute of Standards and Technology on behalf of the Subcommittee on Standards of the National Science and Technology Council about government engagement in standardization generally and in specific technology areas. Finally, the report outlines policy recommendations for consideration as a component of proposed supplementary guidance to agencies engaging in private-sector standards activities to address national priorities specified by Congressional mandate or Administration policy. | https://www.nist.gov/system/files/ documents/standardsgov/ Federal_Engagement_in_Standards _Activities _October12_final.pdf Engagement_in_Standards Activities_October12_final.pdf |
