The planned information collection and analysis processes will be outlined.  Specific actions include: NIST will publish a U.S. Measurement System Roadmap; NIST is reaching out to top customers and stakeholders; Businesses, trade associations, professional groups and other organizations are encouraged to identify and advise NIST of pressing measurement infrastructure needs and gaps in their particular areas.
