ACTION: Notice of listening session and invitation to submit white 
papers. Public consultation is requested regarding the biennial update 
to the National Plan for Aeronautics Research and Development and 
Related Infrastructure.

SUMMARY: Executive Order (E.O.) 13419--National Aeronautics Research 
and Development--signed December 20, 2006, and the National Aeronautics 
Research and Development Policy that was developed by the National 
Science and Technology Council (NSTC) call for executive departments 
and agencies conducting aeronautics research and development (R&D) to 
engage industry, academia and other non-Federal stakeholders in support 
of government planning and performance of aeronautics R&D. E.O. 13419 
further requires a biennial update to the National Plan for Aeronautics 
Research and Development and Related Infrastructure (Plan).
    Announcement of Listening Session: This Federal Register notice 
announces the Aeronautics Science and Technology Subcommittee (ASTS) of 
the NSTC's Committee on Technology decision to hold a listening session 
to receive feedback on the biennial update to the Plan. At this 
listening session, ASTS members will listen to public feedback on the 
mobility goals and objectives in the biennial update to the Plan.

DATES AND ADDRESSES: The listening session will be held in conjunction 
with 9th AIAA Aviation Technology, Integration, and Operations 
Conference (ATIO) and Aircraft Noise and Emissions Reduction Symposium 
(ANERS) at the Marriott Hilton Head Beach and Golf Resort, Oceanfront 
at Palmetto Dunes, One Hotel Circle, Hilton Head Island, SC 29928. The 
listening session will be held on Wednesday, September 23, 2009, from

first come, first served basis.

    Submission of White Papers: White papers are also invited and 
encouraged from those individuals who may want to provide information 
for consideration during the biennial update to the Plan. Of particular 
interest is aeronautics R&D information that may be used during 
consideration of the biennial update to enhance the national 
aeronautics R&D challenges, goals and objectives related to: mobility; 
national security and homeland defense; aviation safety; and energy and 
the environment currently contained in the Plan. The submission of 
white papers is invited through September 10, 2009 and details 
regarding the submission of white papers are available at: http://www.ostp.gov/nstc/aeroplans.
