SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    Authority: 15 U.S.C. 3711a(d)(1) and the Federal Advisory 
Committee Act, as amended, 5 U.S.C. App.

    Pursuant to the Federal Advisory Committee Act, as amended, 5 
U.S.C. App., notice is hereby given that the Judges Panel of the 
Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award will meet on Wednesday, August 
17, 2016, from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Eastern time. The Judges Panel is 
composed of twelve members, appointed by the Secretary of Commerce, 
with a balanced representation from U.S. service, manufacturing, 
nonprofit, education, and health care industries. Members are selected 
for their familiarity with quality improvement operations and 
competitiveness issues of manufacturing companies, service companies, 
small businesses, health care providers, and educational institutions. 
Members are also chosen who have broad experience in for-profit and 
nonprofit areas. The purpose of this meeting is to review the results 
of examiners' scoring of written applications. Panel members will vote 
on which applicants merit site visits by examiners to verify the 
accuracy of quality improvements claimed by applicants. The meeting is 
closed to the public in order to protect the proprietary data to be 
examined and discussed.
    The Chief Financial Officer and Assistant Secretary for 
Administration, with the concurrence of the Acting, Assistant General 
Counsel for Administration, formally determined on May 19, 2016, 
pursuant to Section 10(d) of the Federal Advisory Committee Act, as 
amended by Section 5(c) of the Government in Sunshine Act, Public Law 
94-409, that the meeting of the Judges Panel may be closed to the 
public in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(4) because the meeting is 
likely to disclose trade secrets and commercial or financial 
information obtained from a person which is privileged or confidential 
and 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(9)(B) because for a government agency the meeting 
is likely to disclose information that could significantly frustrate 
implementation of a proposed agency action. The meeting, which involves 
examination of current Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award (Award) 
applicant data from U.S. organizations and a discussion of these data 
as compared to the Award criteria
