The Advanced Technology Program(ATP) was created by P.L. 100-418, the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988, to encourage public-private cooperation in the development of pre-competitive technologies with broad application across industries. Administered by the National Institute of Standards and Technology(NIST), a laboratory of the Department of Commerce, this activity has been targeted for elimination as a means to cut federal spending. However, strong support by the Clinton Administration led to continued ATP funding in FY1997 and FY1998, although at redued levels. Appropriations for FY1999 were 3% above the previous year; in FY2000 funding decreased 28% to $142.6 million. In FY2001, the President requested a 23% increase in support for ATP while the original appropriations bill passed by the House included no financing for the program. However, P.L. 106-553 appropriated $145.7 million for ATP, 2% morethan the previous year. The FY2002 budget submitted by President Bush suspends granting new awards pending an evaluation of the program and provides $13 million only to support on-going project commitments.
