Advisory Committee Act (FACA) pursuant to the NASA Authorization Act, 
Fiscal Year 1991. The purpose of the UAG is to ensure that the 
interests of industry and other non-Federal entities are adequately 
represented in the deliberations of the National Space Council.

UAG Designated Federal Officer/Executive Secretary, James Joseph 
Miller, NASA Headquarters, Washington, DC 20546, email:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NASA is sponsoring the UAG on behalf of the 
National Space Council, an Executive Branch interagency coordinating 
committee chaired by the Vice

President, which is tasked with advising and assisting the President on 
national space policy and strategy. Members of the UAG will serve 
either as ``Representatives'' (i.e., representing industry, other non-
Federal entities, and other recognizable groups of persons involved in 
aeronautical and space activities), or as ``Special Government 
Employees'' (SGEs, i.e., individual subject matter experts or 
consultants). Membership will be a mix of Representatives and SGEs, and 
be balanced to ensure diversity and sector expertise as reflected by 
the National Space Council. Nominees will be evaluated on merit, 
subject matter expertise, and track record of contributions and 
accomplishments aligned with National Space Council goals.

is September 27, 2021.

appointment must not be Federally registered as a lobbyist under the 
Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995, 2 U.S.C. 1602, as amended. Nominations
