[top] Needs and Uses: This is a request for a new collection of information. The page 35285 Office of Space Commerce (OSC) is developing the Traffic Coordination System for Space (TraCSS) to provide space situational awareness (SSA) data, information, and services that support global spaceflight safety, space sustainability, and international coordination. In order to provide these services, TraCSS will enable spacecraft operators and national governments to register for the system. This will require the provision of information by these users as part of the registration process. Spacecraft operators are also asked to provide relevant operational information on an ongoing basis to facilitate provision of safety services.

The purpose of this collection is to enable TraCSS users (spacecraft operators and national governments) to register and receive spaceflight safety services from the system. The registration information will include organizational contact information, a list of spacecrafts associated with that user, and additional attributes associated with that spacecraft. Spacecraft operators will also provide an operational point of contact. In addition to information provided as part of the registration process, spacecraft operators will provide additional information, such as ephemerides with covariance and maneuver plans, on an ongoing basis. The provision of this information enables TraCSS to provide spaceflight safety services to users.

Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations; Not-for-profit institutions; Federal government.

Frequency: Once at registration for most information (plus occasional updates if information changes), daily for spacecraft owner/operator ephemerides with maneuver plans.

Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.

This information collection request may be viewed at www.reginfo.gov. Follow the instructions to view the Department of Commerce collections currently under review by OMB.

Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information collection should be submitted within 30 days of the publication of this notice on the following website www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain.
