SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    This collection of information supports the National Aeronautics 
and Space Act of 1958, as amended, to enable NASA astronaut appearances 
before a variety of groups to inform the general public about the U.S. 
space program. Typically, presentations are made to high schools and 
universities, community organizations, businesses and associations, or 
military organizations. In order to reach as many people as possible, 
NASA offers three options to choose from in requesting an astronaut 
appearance:

    (1) An in-person astronaut appearance whereby the astronaut 
travels to the appearance location.
    (2) A virtual appearance utilizing virtual telecommunications 
tools to connect an astronaut via video conference with your 
organization.
    (3) A recorded greeting arranged in advance to be used during a 
specified event.

    The NASA Astronaut Appearance Office (AAO) located at the Lyndon B. 
Johnson Space Center (JSC) in Houston, Texas is responsible for 
vetting, processing, and coordinating logistics for Astronaut 
appearances. This information will be used by the NASA AAO and Legal 
and HR personnel in the vetting, coordinating, scheduling and 
authorization processes to work with requestors to facilitate the 
appearance logistics. Records of appearances, including the information 
associated with the requestor and points of contact are maintained by 
the AAO for a minimum of five (5) years.

II. Methods of Collection
