Technology Administration

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Technology Administration (TA) is an agency in the United States Department of Commerce that works with United States industries to promote economic competitiveness. TA is led by Under Secretary of Commerce for Technology, Robert Cresanti.

The TA oversees three agencies:

• National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
• National Technical Information Service (NTIS)
• Office of Technology Policy (OTP)

As is stated on the TA website, TA was abolished under the America COMPETES Act of 2007. The website remains for archival purposes but the responsibilities of the administration were transferred to other agencies.
