The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the National Technical Information Service (NTIS) are looking for individuals to join ten different Federal Advisory Committees. These committees cover various areas like earthquake hazards, quality awards, industrial advice, and more. People who are interested can send their nominations anytime and they'll be considered whenever there are openings. However, federal lobbyists can't take part individually.
Simple Explanation
The people in charge of measuring things and sharing helpful information want to add new helpers to different teams. These teams look at things like how buildings handle shakes, how to be the best in quality, and keeping information safe. They need people who are not trying to sway government decisions alone to join them.
