Background Information

The Aerospace Safety Advisory Panel (ASAP) will meet to review the adequacy of NASA plans for Orbiter structural inspections. This is pursuant to carrying out ASAP's statutory duties where the Panel reviews, identifies, evaluates, and advises on those program activities, systems, procedures, and management activities that can contribute to program risk. In making recommendations on this issue, the Agency requires full and frank advice on NASA contractor's workforce issues, inspector skill base, and work paper quality. Premature disclosure of such information would be likely to significantly frustrate the Agency's planning and conduct of Orbiter structural inspections. For these reasons, this meeting will be closed to the public in accordance with 5 U.S.C. Section 552b(c)(9)(B).

Dated: July 23, 2001.

Beth M. McCormick,

Advisory Committee Management Officer, National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
