ACTION: Notice of Renewal of the Advisory Committee on Commercial
Remote Sensing Charter.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In accordance with the provisions of the Federal Advisory
Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. App 2, and the General Services Administration
(GSA) rule on Federal Advisory Committee Management, 41 CFR Part 101-6,
and after consultation with GSA, the Secretary of Commerce has
determined that the renewal of the Advisory Committee on Commercial
Remote Sensing (ACCRES) is in the public interest in connection with
the performance of duties imposed on the Department by law. The ACCRES
Charter was renewed on April 1, 2010.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Committee was first established in May
2002, to advise the Under Secretary of Commerce for Oceans and
Atmosphere on matters relating to the U.S. commercial remote-sensing
industry and NOAA's activities to carry out the responsibilities of the
Department of Commerce set forth in the Land Remote Sensing Policy Act
of 1992 (15 U.S.C. Secs. 5621-5625).
ACCRES will have a fairly balanced membership consisting of
approximately 9 to 15 members serving in a representative capacity. All
members should have expertise in remote sensing, space commerce or a
related field. Each candidate member shall be recommended by the
Assistant Administrator of the National Environmental Data and
Information Service (NESDIS) and shall be appointed by the Under
Secretary for a term of two years serving at the discretion of the
Under Secretary.
The Committee will function solely as an advisory body, and in
compliance with provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act.
Copies of the Committee's revised Charter have been filed with the
appropriate committees of the Congress and with the Library of
Congress.
