ACTION: Notice of Renewal of the

Charters of NASA’s Advisory

Committees.

SUMMARY: Pursuant to sections 14(b)(1)

and 9(c) of the Federal Advisory

Committee Act (Pub. L. 92–463), and

after consultation with the Committee

Management Secretariat, General

Services Administration, the

Administrator of the National

Aeronautics and Space Administration

has determined that a renewal of seven

Agency-established advisory

committees is in the public interest in

connection with the performance of

duties imposed upon NASA by law. The

structure and duties of these committees

are unchanged. However, the Life and

Microgravity Sciences and Applications

Advisory Committee has been renamed

to the Biological and Physical Research

Advisory Committee. This change is

consistent with the renaming of the

Biological and Physical Research. The

Aero-space Technology Advisory

Committee has been renamed the

Aerospace Technology Advisory

Committee.

The seven advisory committees are:

• NASA Advisory Council

• Aerospace Technology Advisory

Council

• Biological and Physical Research

Advisory Committee

• Earth System Science and

Applications Advisory Committee

• Minority Business Resources

Advisory Committee

• Space Science Advisory Committee

• Technology and Commercialization

[Notice (01–058)]

NASA Advisory Committees; Renewal

of the Aerospace Safety Advisory

Panel

AGENCY: National Aeronautics and

Space Administration (NASA).

ACTION: Notice of Renewal of the Charter

of NASA’s Aerospace Safety Advisory

Panel.

SUMMARY: Pursuant to sections 14(b)(1)

and 9(c) of the Federal Advisory

Committee Act (Pub. L. 92–463), and

after consultation with the Committee

Management Secretariat, General

Services Administration, the

Administrator of the National

Aeronautics and Space Administration

has determined that a renewal of the

Aerospace Safety Advisory Panel

(ASAP) is in the public interest in

connection with the performance of

duties imposed upon NASA by law. The

structure and duties of the ASAP remain

unchanged. The charter for the ASAP

now includes additional details on the

aspects of safety that the Panel should

include in their studies and advice to

the NASA Administrator. These aspects

of safety are fully consistent with the

Agency Safety Initiative, a major

commitment to safety as NASA’s

number one priority. The charter also

addresses membership terms. In the

case of panel members, the

Administrator can extend members’

service by no more than six years

beyond their original 6 year term,

thereby limiting service to a total of 12

years. Also, consultants will be

appointed for a specific task and will

serve no longer than the time required

to complete that specific task, but not

longer than 1 year. These provisions

will ensure that the Panel has balanced

representation of membership.
