NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION

[Notice: 17-088]


National Space Council Users' Advisory Group; Establishment

AGENCY: National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

ACTION: Notice of establishment of the National Space Council Users' 
Advisory Group.

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

    Pursuant to the NASA Authorization Act of 1991 (Pub. L. 101-611, 
Section 121), and Executive Order 13803 (``Reviving The National Space 
Council''), Section 6, signed by the President on June 30, 2017, NASA 
has established the National Space Council Users' Advisory Group (UAG). 
The UAG is a non-discretionary statutory Federal advisory committee 
under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) (Pub. L. 92-463, as 
amended). NASA is sponsoring and managing the operations of the UAG on 
behalf of the National Space Council, Executive Office of the 
President. This determination follows consultation with the Committee 
Management Secretariat of the U.S. General Services Administration.
    Purpose: The purpose of the UAG is purely advisory and shall be to 
ensure that the interests of industry, other non-Federal entities, and 
other persons involved in aeronautics and space activities are 
adequately represented in the deliberations of the National Space 
Council. The National Space Council is an Executive Branch interagency 
coordinating committee chaired by the Vice President, which is tasked 
with advising and assisting the President regarding national space 
policy and strategy.
    Membership: Members of the UAG will serve either as 
``Representatives'' (representing industry, other non-Federal entities, 
and other recognizable groups of persons involved in aeronautical and 
space activities) or ``Special Government Employees'' (individual 
subject matter experts).
    Duration: Pursuant to Section 12(b) of the NASA Authorization Act 
of 1991, the UAG is not subject to Section 14a(2) of FACA, and shall 
exist on an ongoing basis.
    Responsible NASA Official: Dr. Jeff Waksman, Designated Federal 
Officer/Executive Secretary, NASA Headquarters, 300 E Street SW, 
Washington, DC 20546, phone: 202-358-3758 or email:
