Sec. 200.103  Consulting and advisory services.

    (a) In areas of its special competence, NIST offers consulting and 
advisory services on various problems related to measurement, e.g., 
details of design and construction, operational aspects, unusual or 
extreme conditions, methods of statistical control of the measurement 
process, automated acquisition of laboratory data, and data reduction 
and analysis by computer. Brief consultation may be obtained at no 
charge; the fee for extended effort will be based upon actual costs 
incurred. The services outlined in this paragraph do not include 
services in connection with legal proceedings not involving the United 
States as a named party, nor to testimony or the production of data, 
information, or records in such legal proceedings which is governed by 
the policies and procedures set forth in Subchapter H, Chapter II, Part 
275, of this title.
    (b) To enhance the competence of standards laboratory personnel, 
NIST conducts at irregular intervals several group seminars on the 
precision measurement of specific types of physical quantities, offering 
the opportunity of laboratory observation and informal discussion. A 
brochure describing the current series of seminars can be obtained by 
writing the Office of Measurement Services, National Institute of 
Standards & Technology, Washington, DC 20234.
