Notice of Information Collection

AGENCY: National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

ACTION: Notice of information collection.

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

SUMMARY: The National Aeronautics and Space Administration, as part of 
its continuing effort to guide the development of space technologies, 
has released a draft version of the 2015 NASA Technology Roadmaps to 
the public. These Roadmaps, which expand and update the Technology 
Roadmaps released in 2012, consist of an introductory section and 
fifteen (15) distinct Technology Area roadmaps, which contain over 
1,250 technology candidate snapshots. NASA is using specific questions 
to enable comment on the draft 2015 NASA Technology Roadmaps in a broad 
spectrum of areas.

DATES: Consideration will be given to all comments received within 30 
days from the date of this publication. The Web site, 
2015nasatechroadmaps.taurigroup.com, will open for comments on May 11, 
2015 and will close on June 10, 2015. No submissions will be accepted 
after June 10, 2015.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Requests for additional information or 
instructions should be directed to Faith Chandler, Director Strategic 
Integration, Office of the Chief Technologist, NASA Headquarters, 300 E 
Street SW., Washington, DC 20546, at [email protected].
    Title: NASA Technology Roadmap Comment.
    Abstract: NASA is continually looking for opportunities to advance 
U.S. technology. NASA's technology development activities expand the 
frontiers of knowledge and capabilities in aeronautics, science, and 
space, which creates markets and products for U.S. industry, and 
supports other government agencies and academia.
    The draft 2015 NASA Technology Roadmaps expand and update the 
original 2012 roadmaps, providing extensive details about anticipated 
NASA mission capability and associated technology development needs. 
NASA believes sharing these documents with the broader community will 
increase awareness, generate innovative solutions to provide the 
capabilities for space exploration and scientific discovery, and 
inspire others to get involved in America's space program.
    The five questions on the Web site enable comment on the draft 2015

NASA Technology Roadmaps in a broad spectrum of areas, to describe 
partnership opportunities and needs, and to identify NASA technology 
development activities that will promote entrepreneurship, innovation, 
and development of new businesses. Those questions are:
    Question 1: Confirm validity or propose a change to the description 
of state of the art.
    Question 2: Identify interest in the use of a technology candidate 
for a space application.
    Question 3: Identify interest in the use of a technology candidate 
for a non-space application.
    Question 4: Describe interest in potential partnership (co-funding 
development) of a technology candidate.
    Question 5: Suggest other changes to the draft 2015 NASA Technology 
Roadmaps.
    When arriving on the home page of the Web site titled: ``2015 NASA 
Technology Roadmaps: Request for Information Portal'' located at: 
2015nasatechroadmaps.taurigroup.com, the reviewer will be requested to
