SUMMARY: Data Users Advisory Committee; Notice of Meeting and Agenda Jkt 256001 Dated: October 7, 2021. Thomas G. Hohenthaner, Acting VP/General Counsel and Corporate Secretary. Summary of First Amendment to Millennium Challenge Compact With the Kingdom of Morocco The Board of Directors of the Millennium Challenge Corporation (‘‘MCC’’) has approved an amendment (the ‘‘Amendment’’) to the existing US $450,000,000, five-year Millennium Challenge Compact between the United States of America, acting through MCC, and the Kingdom of Morocco (the ‘‘Compact’’). Background The Compact was signed on November 30, 2015 and entered into force on June 30, 2017. The Compact aims to contribute to economic growth and investment in Morocco through two projects supporting Moroccan government priorities: The Education and Training for Employability Project and the Land Productivity Project. Scope of the Amendment MCC proposes to extend the term of the Compact for an additional nine months until March 31, 2023, and to PO 00000 Frm 00079 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 provide additional funding of up to $10,500,000. The term extension is necessary to mitigate implementation delays due to the COVID–19 pandemic and to complete Compact projects as originally contemplated. The proposed additional funding will be used to cover additional program administration and related oversight costs associated with extending the Compact’s term. Justification for the Amendment Notice of First Amendment to Compact With the Kingdom of Morocco [FR Doc. 2021–22297 Filed 10–13–21; 8:45 am] 57201 In March 2020, the Government of Morocco imposed an almost complete lockdown and border closure for three months after the first COVID–19 cases were identified in Morocco. The offices of the Government of Morocco’s accountable entity were closed from March to June 2020, limiting staff to telework. Construction works were halted for at least three months, as were all in-person activities such as public consultations, trainings, and other technical assistance activities. Travel restrictions and border closures disrupted global supply chains and access to necessary supplies and equipment. Although some restrictions were eased during the summer of 2020, renewed COVID–19 outbreaks during the fall and winter led to targeted lockdowns in several Moroccan cities. Lockdowns and restrictions have now been imposed intermittently for over a year, including a lengthy national curfew and a suspension of air travel with over 50 countries, including most of Europe. These restrictions have only recently eased. Extending the Compact term will maximize long-term results and the return on investment by assuring the completion of most key activities and increasing the likelihood that the Government of Morocco will successfully adopt and implement the reform elements of the Compact and establish a more solid foundation for sustaining these reforms post-Compact. The additional MCC funding is necessary for and will be used to support oversight and other administrative functions during the additional nine months of the Compact term.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Abstract The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is committed to effectively performing the Agency’s communication function in accordance with the Space Act Section 203 (a) (3) to ‘‘provide for the widest practicable and appropriate dissemination of information concerning its activities and the results there of,’’ and to enhance public understanding of, and participation in, the nation’s space PO 00000 Frm 00081 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 program in accordance with the NASA Strategic Plan. At NASA Kennedy Space Center (KSC) VIP guests come to see launches and leave inspired. To enable and facilitate official outreach, the Outreach & Guest Operations Office (PX–O) relies heavily on NASA employees (civil servants and contractors) who elect to support launches in many capacities, and run tours. PX–O plans to recruit staff to support the Guest Operations VIP Bus Escort and Site Lead Team program known as the GO TEAM program. Bus escorts play a critical role engaging VIP guests, disseminating information about facilities and missions, as well as ensuring guests get to tour locations and launch viewing sites, and are returned to their correct point of departure seamlessly. Of the various launch staffing roles, bus escorts require special skills—the ability to speak well with high level guests about NASA missions and KSC facilities, solve problems with quick thinking, and act as an exemplary spokesperson for NASA. This role is particularly critical with Artemis-1 launch expected in November E:\FR\FM\14OCN1.SGM 14OCN1

justification, and full text of the proposed First Amendment to 
Millennium Challenge Compact between the United States of America, 
acting through the Millennium Challenge Corporation, and the Kingdom of 
Morocco. Representatives of the United States Government and the 
Kingdom of Morocco plan to conclude the Amendment before the end of 
2021.

Summary of First Amendment to Millennium Challenge Compact With the 
Kingdom of Morocco

    The Board of Directors of the Millennium Challenge Corporation 
(``MCC'') has approved an amendment (the ``Amendment'') to the existing 
US $450,000,000, five-year Millennium Challenge Compact between the 
United States of America, acting through MCC, and the Kingdom of 
Morocco (the ``Compact'').

Background

    The Compact was signed on November 30, 2015 and entered into force 
on June 30, 2017. The Compact aims to contribute to economic growth and 
investment in Morocco through two projects supporting Moroccan 
government priorities: The Education and Training for Employability 
Project and the Land Productivity Project.

Scope of the Amendment

    MCC proposes to extend the term of the Compact for an additional 
nine months until March 31, 2023, and to provide additional funding of 
up to $10,500,000. The term extension is necessary to mitigate 
implementation delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic and to complete 
Compact projects as originally contemplated. The proposed additional 
funding will be used to cover additional program administration and 
related oversight costs associated with extending the Compact's term.

Justification for the Amendment

    In March 2020, the Government of Morocco imposed an almost complete 
lockdown and border closure for three months after the first COVID-19 
cases were identified in Morocco. The offices of the Government of 
Morocco's accountable entity were closed from March to June 2020, 
limiting staff to telework. Construction works were halted for at least 
three months, as were all in-person activities such as public 
consultations, trainings, and other technical assistance activities. 
Travel restrictions and border closures disrupted global supply chains 
and access to necessary supplies and equipment. Although some 
restrictions were eased during the summer of 2020, renewed COVID-19 
outbreaks during the fall and winter led to targeted lockdowns in 
several Moroccan cities. Lockdowns and restrictions have now been 
imposed intermittently for over a year, including a lengthy national 
curfew and a suspension of air travel with over 50 countries, including 
most of Europe. These restrictions have only recently eased.
    Extending the Compact term will maximize long-term results and the 
return on investment by assuring the completion of most key activities 
and increasing the likelihood that the Government of Morocco will 
successfully adopt and implement the reform elements of the Compact and 
establish a more solid foundation for sustaining these reforms post-
Compact. The additional MCC funding is necessary for and will be used 
to support oversight and other administrative functions during the 
additional nine months of the Compact term.

MCC, and the Kingdom of Morocco, acting through its government, on 
November 30, 2015 (the ``Compact'');
    Whereas, Section 7.4 of the Compact provides for a Compact Term of 
five (5) years from its entry into force on June 30, 2017;
    Whereas, implementation of the Compact Program has been adversely 
affected and delayed by the coronavirus pandemic;
    Whereas, the Parties now desire to extend the Compact Term by an 
additional nine (9) months until March 31, 2023 (the ``Extension''), 
and to increase MCC's assistance under the Compact for related 
administrative and oversight costs, to allow the Government more time 
to implement and complete the Projects in order to fully achieve the 
Compact Goal and the Project Objectives; and
    Whereas, pursuant to Section 6.2(a) of the Compact, the Parties 
desire to amend the Compact as more fully described herein to
