SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This is a request for a new collection of information. The Office
of Space Commerce (OSC) is developing the Traffic Coordination System
for Space (TraCSS) to provide space situational awareness (SSA) data,
information, and
[[Page 17582]]
services that support global spaceflight safety, space sustainability,
and international coordination. In order to provide these services,
TraCSS will enable spacecraft operators and national governments to
register for the system. This will require the provision of information
by these users as part of the registration process. Spacecraft
operators are also asked to provide relevant operational information on
an ongoing basis to facilitate provision of safety services.
The purpose of this collection is to enable TraCSS users
(spacecraft operators and national governments) to register and receive
spaceflight safety services from the system. The registration
information will include organizational contact information, a list of
spacecraft associated with that user, and additional attributes
associated with that spacecraft. Spacecraft operators will also provide
an operational point of contact. In addition to information provided as
part of the registration process, spacecraft operators will provide
additional information, such as ephemerides with covariance and
maneuver plans on an ongoing basis. The provision of this information
enables TraCSS to provide spaceflight safety services to users.
II. Method of Collection
Information will be collected via an online registration system
(for registration) as well as through an online operational system (for
ongoing data).
