[Notice: (21-060)]


National Space Council Users' Advisory Group (UAG); Public 
Nominations

AGENCY: National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

ACTION: Extension to the invitation for public nominations for 
potential service on the National Space Council Users' Advisory Group.

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

SUMMARY: NASA announces an extension to the invitation for public 
nominations for potential members of the National Space Council Users' 
Advisory Group (UAG). The UAG is a Federal advisory committee under the 
Federal 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.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For any questions, please contact the 
UAG Designated Federal Officer/Executive Secretary, James Joseph 
Miller, NASA Headquarters, Washington, DC 20546, email: 
[email protected]; phone: 202-262-0929.

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.
    Deadline: The deadline for NASA to receive all public nominations 
has been extended to October 29, 2021.
    Instructions for Public Nominations: Persons or organizations may 
nominate individuals for consideration as potential members of the UAG. 
Interested candidates may also self-nominate. The candidate may not be 
a regular Federal Government employee, and must not be registered by 
the Department of Justice under the Foreign Agents Registration Act 
(FARA), 22 U.S.C. 611 et seq. Additionally, a candidate for a SGE 
appointment must not be Federally registered as a lobbyist under the 
Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995, 2 U.S.C. 1602, as amended. Nominations 
must be contained in an email to NASA attaching the required documents. 
All nominations should include a cover letter, a resume (including 
contact information for the individual) and/or a professional biography 
demonstrating professional stature, knowledge and experience 
commensurate with achieving the UAG's purpose as set forth in Public 
Law 101-611, Section 121. Each document must not exceed one page. The 
cover letter must be a signed letter saved as a PDF file, indicate the 
category of membership for which the individual is being nominated 
(``Representative'' or ``SGE''), and contain an affirmative statement 
that the individual meets all aforesaid requirements. Cover letters for 
Representative nominations must also indicate why the individual should 
be considered for membership, and be on the supporting organization's 
letterhead. Nominations must be submitted in a single email attaching 
the cover letter, resume, and/or professional biography to 
[email protected]. For more information about the
