-----------------------------------------------------------------------
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.

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

Interested candidates may also self-nominate. The candidate may not be

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