Summary

Export Promotion Act of 2010 - Amends the National Institute of Standards and Technology Act to require the Director of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), in making awards for the creation and support of regional centers for the transfer of manufacturing technology, to encourage the submission of applications with significant potential for increasing the competitiveness of small and medium-sized U.S. manufacturers in the global marketplace. Authorizes the Director to: (1) give a preference to such applications; and (2) consider such potential when awarding grants under the NIST's technology innovation program. Directs the Secretary of Commerce to increase the number of full-time departmental employees whose primary responsibilities involve promoting or facilitating participation by U.S. businesses in the global marketplace and facilitating the entry into, or expansion of, such participation. Requires the Secretary to ensure that global marketplace promotional activities include promoting and facilitating participation by small and medium-sized manufacturing businesses. Authorizes appropriations for the Department of Commerce's program to improve access to the global marketplace for goods and services provided by rural businesses.
