Notice of Renewal of the Advisory Committee on Commercial Remote 
Sensing

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. ACCRES was 
renewed on March 13, 2014.

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 National and Commercial Space 
Programs Act of 2010 (The Act) Title 51 U.S.C. 60101 et seq (formally 
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 will have expertise in remote sensing, space commerce or a 
related field. Each candidate member is recommended by the Assistant 
Administrator and shall be appointed by the Under Secretary for a tern 
of two years 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.
