SUMMARY: The Aeronautics Science and Technology Subcommittee (ASTS) of
the National Science and Technology Council's (NSTC) Committee on
Technology will hold a public meeting to discuss development of the
National Aeronautics Research and Development (R&D) Plan and a related
aeronautics R&D Infrastructure Plan. Executive Order (E.O.) 13419--
National Aeronautics Research and Development--signed December 20,
2006, calls for the development of these Plans within one year. The
Plans are to be guided by the National Aeronautics Research and
Development Policy that was prepared by the National Science and
Technology Council and endorsed by E.O. 13419. Details on white papers
requested for submission to the ASTS will also be given at the meeting.
DATES AND ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held Tuesday, April 24, 2007,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: E.O. 13419 and the National Aeronautics R&D
Policy call for executive departments and agencies conducting
aeronautics R&D to engage industry, academia and other non-Federal
stakeholders in support of government planning and performance of
aeronautics R&D. At this meeting, ASTS members will discuss the
proposed structure and content of the National Aeronautics R&D Plan and
related Infrastructure Plan, including a taxonomy of aeronautics R&D,
and expectations and potential outcomes of the Plans. The main purpose
of the meeting is to obtain facts and information from individuals on
these topic areas.
Following the public meeting on April 24, 2007, individuals in
academia and industry and other aeronautics experts are invited to
submit white papers to provide additional input into the development of
the National Aeronautics R&D Plan and related Infrastructure Plan.
Although the call for white papers is primarily intended to solicit
viewpoints from outside of the Federal government, the Federal
aeronautics R&D community is also welcome to respond. More specific
details regarding content and submission of white papers will be
provided at the meeting and posted on the Web at: http://www.ostp.gov/nstc/aeroplans
following the meeting. Links to E.O. 13419 and the
National Aeronautics R&D Policy are also available at this Web site.
This meeting will be physically accessible to people with
disabilities. Seating is limited and will be on a first come, first
served basis and hence registration is required. Registration, as well
as requests for sign language interpretation or other auxiliary aids,
