NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION

[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.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Kathy Dakon, Assistant Advisory 
Committee Management Officer, Mail Code Z, National Aeronautics and 
Space Administration, Washington, DC 20546, (202) 358-0732.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Information regarding the Aerospace Safety 
Advisory Panel is available on the world wide web at http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/codeq/codeq-1.htm

Administration.
