SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
NASA's Office of the Chief Health and Medical Officer, in
collaboration with the Johnson Space Center (JSC) Flight Medicine
Clinic (FMC), has implemented the requirements of the TREAT Astronauts
Act, authorized under subsection 441 of the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration Transition Authorization Act of 2017 (Pub. L. 115-
10). Under this authority, NASA collects health-related information
from former astronauts and former payload specialists to provide
medical evaluation and treatment for conditions associated with human
spaceflight.
This ongoing information collection supports clinical care and
contributes to a comprehensive knowledge base on the long-term effects
of spaceflight. It also enables NASA to identify gaps in services that
support medical monitoring, diagnosis, and treatment of spaceflight-
associated conditions. Records are collected by authorized healthcare
providers within the JSC Occupational Health Branch (OHB).
These activities ensure the continued maintenance of complete
medical records covering routine healthcare, emergency treatment,
surveillance examinations, and exposure histories for active and
retired astronauts. The collection fulfills NASA's responsibilities
under the TREAT Astronauts Act to advance understanding of spaceflight-
related health outcomes and to ensure appropriate long-term medical
support for former crew members, as mandated by Public Law 115-10.
NASA is committed to effectively performing the Agency's
communication function in accordance with Section 203(a)(3) of the
National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958 (as amended) dictates that
NASA ``provide for the widest practicable and appropriate dissemination
of information concerning its activities and the results thereof'', and
to enhance public understanding of, and participation in, the nation's
aeronautical and space program.
