Executive Order (EO) 12898, Federal Actions to Address 
Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income 
Populations

AGENCY: National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

ACTION: Notice of availability of Draft Environmental Justice Strategy.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Pursuant to EO 12898, Federal Actions to Address Environmental 
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations, NASA has 
issued a Draft Environmental Justice Strategy (hereinafter referred to 
as the ``Draft Strategy''). This Draft Strategy has been developed to 
ensure that environmental justice is made part of the Agency's mission 
by identifying and addressing, as appropriate, disproportionately high 
and adverse human health or environmental effects of its actions on 
low-income populations and minority populations in the United States 
and its territories and possessions, the District of Columbia, the 
Commonwealth of Puerto Riceo, and the Commonwealth of the Mariana 
Islands.

DATES: Comments on the Draft Strategy must be provided in writing to 
NASA on or before March 1, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Comments should be addressed to Mr. R.E. Hammond, Director, 
Environmental Management Division, NASA Headquarters, Code JE, 300 E 
Street SW., Washington, DC 20546. The Draft Strategy may be reviewed at 
the following location:
    (a) NASA Headquarters, Library, Room 1J20, 300 E Street SW.,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EO 12898 mandates that each Federal agency, 
to the maximum extent practicable, make achieving environmental justice 
part of its mission by identifying and addressing, as appropriate, 
disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental 
effects of its programs, policies and activities on low-income 
populations and minority populations. An integral element of each 
agency's efforts to attain this goal is the development of an 
agencywide environmental justice strategy. NASA has requested that the 
National Environmental Justice Advisory Committee be afforded an 
opportunity to review and comment on the Agency's draft strategy before 
the NASA Final Environmental Justice Strategy is developed and issued. 
Similarly, to satisfy the intent of section 5-5(a) of the EO, public 
comments received will be taken into account in formulating the 
Agency's final strategy.
Benita A. Cooper,
Associate Administrator for Management Systems and Facilities.
