    The Commercial Space Transportation Advisory Committee was created 
under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), in accordance with 
Public Law 92-463. Since its inception, industry-led COMSTAC has 
provided information, advice, and recommendations to the U.S. 
Department of Transportation through FAA regarding technology, 
business, and policy issues relevant to oversight of the U.S. 
commercial space transportation sector.

II. Proposed Agenda

A. Review of Taskers Assigned at the Previous Meeting
B. Assignment of New Taskers to COMSTAC
C. Public Comment

III. Public Participation

    The meeting listed in this notice will be open to the public. The 
US Department of Transportation is committed to providing equal access 
to this meeting for all participants. If you need alternative formats 
or services because of a disability, such as sign language, 
interpretation, or other ancillary aids, please contact the person 
listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section.
    There will be at least thirty minutes allotted for oral comments 
from members of the public joining a COMSTAC meeting. To accommodate as 
many speakers as possible, the time for each commenter may be limited. 
Individuals wishing to reserve speaking time during the meeting must 
submit a request at the time of registration, as well as the name, 
address, and organizational affiliation of the proposed speaker. If the 
number of registrants requesting to make statements is greater than can 
be reasonably accommodated during the meeting, the FAA Office of 
Commercial Space Transportation may conduct a lottery to determine the 
speakers. Speakers are requested to submit a written copy of their 
prepared remarks for inclusion in the meeting records and for 
circulation to COMSTAC members. All prepared remarks submitted on time 
will be accepted and considered as part of the record. Any member of 
the public may present a written statement to the committee at any 
time.
