Abstract
The National Institute of Standards (NIST) hereby removes 15 CFR Part 275 which sets forth policies and procedures governing the appearance of NIST employees as witnesses in private litigation. This action is taken in keeping with the goals of the National Performance Review and in order to comply with recent Executive Orders that address regulatory reforms. Part 275 is removed because it is out of date and unnecessary. The policies and procedures to be followed with respect to the testimony of all Department of Commerce employees regarding official matters, and the production of Department documents in legal proceedings is set forth at 15 CFR Part 15a.
