NASA Advisory Committee; Renewal
of NASA’s International Space Station
Advisory Committee Charter
National Aeronautics and
Space Administration (NASA).
ACTION: Notice of renewal and
amendment of the Charter of the
International Space Station Advisory
Committee.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: Pursuant to sections 14(b)(1)
and 9(c) of the Federal Advisory
Committee Act (Pub. L. 92–463), and
after consultation with the Committee
Management Secretariat, General
Services Administration, the
Administrator of the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration
has determined that a renewal of the
International Space Station Advisory
Committee is in the public interest in
connection with the performance of
duties imposed on NASA by law. The
renewed Charter is identical to the
original Charter in all respects except
that the Charter renewal is for nine
months, rather than two years, and the
minimum number of voting committee
members has been reduced from ten to
eight.

National Environmental Policy Act;

National Aeronautics and

ACTION: Notice of availability of the
Final Constellation Programmatic
Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS)
ebenthall on PROD1PC69 with NOTICES
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as
amended (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321 et.
seq.), the Council on Environmental
Quality Regulations for Implementing
the Procedural Provisions of NEPA (40
CFR Parts 1500–1508), NASA’s NEPA
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 214001
policy and procedures (14 CFR Part
1216, subpart 1216.3), and Executive
Order 12114, NASA has prepared and
issued the Final PEIS for the proposed
Constellation Program to assist in the
NASA decision making process.
The Proposed Action (Preferred
Alternative) is to continue preparations
for and to implement the Constellation
Program. The focus of the Constellation
Program is the development of the flight
systems and Earth-based ground
infrastructure required to enable the
United States to have continued access
to space and to enable future human
missions to the International Space
Station, the Moon, Mars, and beyond.
The Constellation Program also would
be responsible for developing and
testing flight hardware, and performing
mission operations once the
infrastructure is sufficiently developed.
The only alternative to the Proposed
Action discussed in detail is the No
Action Alternative where NASA would
not continue preparations for nor
implement the Constellation Program
and therefore, would forego the
opportunity for human exploration of
space using U.S. space vehicles.
DATES: NASA will issue a Record of
Decision (ROD) for the proposed
Constellation Program based on the
Final PEIS no sooner than February 18,
2008, or 30 days from the date of
publication in the Federal Register of
the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency’s notice of availability of the
Final PEIS, whichever is later.
ADDRESSES: The Final PEIS may be

available, once issued, on the same Web

Program, NASA Lyndon B. Johnson
Space Center, 2101 NASA Parkway,
Houston, Texas 77058, telephone (toll

mail at nasa-cxeis@mail.nasa.gov.
Additional Constellation Program
information can also be found on the
internet at https://www.nasa.gov/
mission_pages/constellation/main/
index.html. Information specific to the
Constellation Program NEPA process
can be found at https://www.nasa.gov/
mission_pages/exploration/main/
eis.html.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Final
PEIS addresses the environmental
impacts associated with continuing
preparations for and implementing the
Constellation Program. The
Constellation Program would build a
new crew vehicle called the Orion and
two new launch vehicles, Ares I to
transport crew and Ares V to transport
cargo (for lunar or Mars missions). The
environmental impacts of principal
concern are those that would result from
fabrication, testing, and launch of the
Orion spacecraft and the Ares I and Ares
V launch vehicles.
The Constellation Program would be
an extremely large and complex
program spanning decades and
requiring the efforts of a broad spectrum
of talent located throughout NASA and
many commercial entities. Under
NASA’s Proposed Action, Constellation
Program activities would be expected to
occur at the following NASA sites:
—John F. Kennedy Space Center,
Brevard County, Florida
—John C. Stennis Space Center,
Hancock County, Mississippi
—Michoud Assembly Facility, New
Orleans, Louisiana
—Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center,
Houston, Texas
—George C. Marshall Space Flight
Center, Huntsville, Alabama
