Executive Order (EO) 12898, Federal Actions to Address
Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income
Populations
AGENCY: National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
ACTION: Notice of availability of Draft Environmental Justice Strategy.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Pursuant to EO 12898, Federal Actions to Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations, NASA has
issued a Draft Environmental Justice Strategy (hereinafter referred to
as the ``Draft Strategy''). This Draft Strategy has been developed to
ensure that environmental justice is made part of the Agency's mission
by identifying and addressing, as appropriate, disproportionately high
and adverse human health or environmental effects of its actions on
low-income populations and minority populations in the United States
and its territories and possessions, the District of Columbia, the
Commonwealth of Puerto Riceo, and the Commonwealth of the Mariana
Islands.
DATES: Comments on the Draft Strategy must be provided in writing to
NASA on or before March 1, 1995.
ADDRESSES: Comments should be addressed to Mr. R.E. Hammond, Director,
Environmental Management Division, NASA Headquarters, Code JE, 300 E
Street SW., Washington, DC 20546. The Draft Strategy may be reviewed at
the following location:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EO 12898 mandates that each Federal agency,
to the maximum extent practicable, make achieving environmental justice
part of its mission by identifying and addressing, as appropriate,
disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental
effects of its programs, policies and activities on low-income
populations and minority populations. An integral element of each
agency's efforts to attain this goal is the development of an
agencywide environmental justice strategy. NASA has requested that the
National Environmental Justice Advisory Committee be afforded an
opportunity to review and comment on the Agency's draft strategy before
the NASA Final Environmental Justice Strategy is developed and issued.
Similarly, to satisfy the intent of section 5-5(a) of the EO, public
comments received will be taken into account in formulating the
Agency's final strategy.
Benita A. Cooper,
Associate Administrator for Management Systems and Facilities.
