### Request for Information (RFI) Regarding the Digitization and Modernization of the National Technical Reports Library (NTRL) and the Leveraging of Scientific, Technical and Engineering Information (STEI) Stored in the NTRL

*Notice* — Commerce Department · National Technical Information Service

The National Technical Information Service (NTIS) is seeking general information, feedback, suggestions, and experiential and technical insights from stakeholders to inform NTIS's goal of fully digitizing, modernizing, and enhancing the utility of the National Technical Reports Library (NTRL). NTIS has historically collected, indexed, abstracted, and stored U.S. Government-sponsored technical reports and made them available to the public through the NTRL. To further unlock the NTRL's intrinsic value, NTIS aims to digitize records that are part of the NTRL but currently exist only in physical formats. Leveraging the information archived within the NTRL may include making the data more accessible to AI and advanced computing applications. NTIS seeks to understand the opportunities, challenges, and priorities that may attend NTRL's efforts to modernize and make any resultant high-quality technical federal data sets publicly available.

```
Using the Downstream MCP server at mcp.downstream.sh, call whats_new_since with agency "National Technical Information Service" since 2026-09-30, then summarise what changed and list every deadline it created.
```

Reaches `whats_new_since`. The response carries its own citations and states what it is missing,
including which dates it has no record for.

Counts are arithmetic over published fields, dates are printed as filed, and titles are verbatim.
Where we have nothing, this says nothing rather than estimating. The one-sentence agency summaries
are machine-written from those same fields and are labelled where they appear.
