SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NIST announces a workshop on Computational 
Models for Large Outdoor Fires to be held on Monday, March 04, 2019 to 
Tuesday, March 05, 2019. The workshop will be open to the public and 
portions will be available via web broadcasting. At this workshop, the 
attendees will discuss the current state of measurement science gaps in 
implementing computational tools to model large scale outdoor fires, 
such as those found in the Wildland and Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) 
communities.
    The workshop agenda is expected to include the following discussion 
items:
     High-performance computing applied to outdoor fire 
modeling,
     incorporating micro- and macro-scale weather data,
     incorporating topography and terrain features,
     ember ignition physics,
     winddriven fire spread,
     large-scale prescribed burn experiments, and
     wind-tunnel experiments.
    Note that the agenda may change without notice. Seating will be 
available for the public on a first-come, first-served basis and will 
be limited to 40 attendees. Portions of the workshop will be available 
via web broadcasting. Pre-registration is required to attend this 
workshop both in person and online. The final agenda, web broadcasting 
instructions, and other administrative information will be posted on 
the meeting website: https://www.nist.gov/news-events/events/2019/03/computational-models-large-outdoor-fires-workshop.
    All visitors to the NIST site are required to pre-register to be 
admitted. Please submit your name, time of arrival, email address and 
phone number to Karen Startsman by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time, February 26, 
2019. Non-U.S. citizens must submit additional information; please 
contact Karen Startsman. Ms. Startman's email address is 
[email protected] and her phone number is 301-975-6602. For 
participants attending in person, please note that federal agencies, 
including NIST, can only accept a state-issued driver's license or 
identification card for access to federal facilities if such license or 
identification card is issued by a state that is compliant with the 
REAL ID Act of 2005 (Pub. L. 109-13), or by a state that has an 
extension for REAL ID compliance. NIST currently accepts other forms of 
federal-issued identification in lieu of a state-issued driver's 
license. For detailed information please contact Karen Startsman at
