Technology, National Science and Technology Council; Notice of Meeting

ACTION: Notice of Meeting--Public Consultation on the National 
Aeronautics Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) 
Infrastructure Plan.

SUMMARY: The Aeronautics RDT&E Infrastructure Interagency Working Group 
(IIWG) of the Aeronautics Science and Technology Subcommittee (ASTS) of 
the National Science and Technology Council's (NSTC) Committee on 
Technology will hold a public meeting to discuss development of the 
National Aeronautics RDT&E Infrastructure Plan. Executive Order (E.O.) 
13419--National Aeronautics Research and Development--signed December 
20, 2006, calls for the development of this plan. The plan is to be 
guided by both the National Aeronautics Research and Development (R&D) 
Policy and the National Plan for Aeronautics R&D and Related 
Infrastructure that were developed by the NSTC and approved by the 
President in 2006 and 2007 respectively.

DATES AND ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held in conjunction with the 
47th AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting at the Orlando World Center 
Marriott, 8701 World Center Drive, Orlando, Florida, 32821 on Thursday, 
January 8, 2009, from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. in the Grand Ballroom 12 
(Session 270-APA-36/GT-10). Information regarding the 47th AIAA 
Aerospace Sciences Meeting is available at the AIAA Web site: http://www.aiaa.org. Note: persons solely attending the ASTS public meeting do 
not need to register for the AIAA Meeting. There will be no admission 
charge for persons solely attending the public meeting.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: E.O. 13419 and the National Aeronautics R&D 
Policy call for executive departments and agencies conducting 
aeronautics R&D to engage industry, academia and other non-Federal 
stakeholders in support of government planning and performance of 
aeronautics R&D. At this meeting, members of the IIWG and the 
specialized task forces that were established under the IIWG will 
discuss the structure and content to date of the National Aeronautics 
RDT&E Infrastructure Plan. The main purposes of the meeting are to: 
allow government representatives to provide the current status of the 
effort to develop the National Aeronautics RDT&E Infrastructure Plan; 
and, obtain information and comments from individuals regarding the 
aeronautics RDT&E infrastructure requirements to support the national 
aeronautics R&D goals and objectives related to mobility, national 
defense, aviation safety, and energy and the environment that are 
stated in the National Plan for Aeronautics R&D and Related 
Infrastructure. Additional information and links to E.O. 13419, the 
National Aeronautics R&D Policy, and the National Plan for Aeronautics 
R&D and Related Infrastructure are available by visiting the Office of 
Science and Technology Policy's NSTC Web site at: http://www.ostp.gov/nstc/aeroplans or by calling 202-456-6046.
