    (a) The Board will consist of a full-time Chairperson and at least 

six members appointed by the Administrator from within NASA. One of the 

members will be designated by the Chairperson as Vice-Chairperson. The 

Chairperson is responsible directly to the Administrator.

    (b) The Chairperson of the Board is appointed for an unlimited 

period. All other Board members normally will be appointed initially for 

a period of 3 years. The Chairperson is authorized to extend the initial 

appointment of any Board member for an additional period of service. If 

a member resigns or is otherwise unable to participate in the Board's 

activities, a replacement may be appointed for the remainder of the 

uncompleted term and, with the approval of the Chairperson, may be 

appointed for a full 3-year term upon the expiration of the original 

term. This procedure will provide the Board with a continual infusion of 

new members with a variety of professional backgrounds and interests. 

Duties performed by the members of the Board will be in addition to 

their regular duties.

    (c) The Chairperson is authorized to:

    (1) Assemble the Board as required to discharge the duties and 

responsibilities of the Board;

    (2) Establish such panels as may be considered necessary to 

discharge the responsibilities and perform the functions of the Board; 

and
