The Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988, P.L. 100-418, created a program of regional centers to assist small and medium-sized manufacturing companies use knowledge and technologies developed under the auspices of the National Institute of Standards and Technology(NIST), a laboratory of the Department of Commerce. Now Known as the Mnufacturing Extension Partnership(MEP), centers in all 50 states and Puerto Rico provide technical and managerial assistance to firms. Federal funding is is matched by non-federal sources. Support for the program increased 19% between FY 1997 and FY 1998, to $113.5 million. Funding for FY1999 fell to $106.8 million, reflecting a decrease in the federal portion of financing from one-half to one-third as individual centers operate longer that 6 years.. P.L. 106-113, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, provided $104.2 million to operate the MEP program in FY 2000 after the mandated recision, 2% less than FY1999. In the FY2001 budget, the President requested $114.1 million, 9.5% above the previous year's funding. Part of this increase was to allow the centers to work with the Department of Agriculture and the Small Business Administration on an e-commerce outreach program. P.L. 106-553 appropriates $105.1 million for the Manufacturing Extension Program but does not fund any new initiatives.
