[[Page 35285]]
Office of Space Commerce (OSC) is developing the Traffic Coordination
System for Space (TraCSS) to provide space situational awareness (SSA)
data, information, and 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
spacecrafts 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.
Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations; Not-
for-profit institutions; Federal government.
Frequency: Once at registration for most information (plus
occasional updates if information changes), daily for spacecraft owner/
operator ephemerides with maneuver plans.
Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
