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.
