Notice of Establishment of a NASA Advisory Committee, Pursuant to
the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. App 1 et seq.
Agency: National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
Explanation of Need: The Administrator of the National Aeronautics
and Space Administration has determined that the establishment of a
NASA International Space Station Strategic Roadmap Committee is
necessary and in the public interest in connection with the performance
of duties imposed upon NASA by law. This determination follows
consultation with the Committee Management Secretariat, General
Services Administration.
Name of Committee: NASA International Space Station Strategic
Roadmap Committee.
Purpose and Objective: The Committee will advise the NASA
Administrator on completing assembly of the International Space Station
and on focusing research to support space exploration goals, with
emphasis on understanding how the space environment affects human
health and capabilities, and developing countermeasures. The Committee
will draw on the expertise of its members and other sources to provide
its advice and recommendations to the Agency. The Committee will hold
meetings and make site visits as necessary to accomplish their
responsibilities. The Committee will function solely as an advisory
board and will comply fully with the provisions of the Federal Advisory
Committee Act.
Lack of Duplication of Resources: The Committee’s functions cannot
be performed by the agency, another existing committee, or other means
such as a public meeting.
Fairly Balanced Membership: The Committee will consist of a balance
of experts from within the government, private industry, and academia.
In addition, there may be additional experts selected for Subcommittees
or Task Forces. Members of the Committee, Subcommittee or Task Forces
will be chosen from among industry, academia, and government with
recognized knowledge and expertise in specific areas across the NASA
portfolio. Total membership will reflect a fairly balanced view.
Duration: Ad hoc.
Responsible NASA Official: Dr. Marc Allen, Advanced Planning and
Integration Office, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, 300
E Street, SW., Washington, DC 20546, telephone (202) 358-2373.
