OMB Approves NASA Flight Analog Mission ICR Revision

Yesterday, yes on Memorial Day, the OMB’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) announced that it had approved an information collection request revision from NASA on “Flight Analog Projects (FAP) Crew Selection Questionnaire”. The ICR supports the Flight Analog Projects (FAP) Crew Selection Questionnaire used by members of the public to apply for consideration as a NASA analog crew member. The table below shows the change in burden estimate: 

The OIRA announcement notes that: 

“Burden hours increased due to expanding response options in the updated questionnaire. The annual cost burden to respondents and the annualized Federal government cost increased due to updates to the median hour wage per the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data.” 

The NASA flight analog missions are activities conducted on Earth that simulate some of the challenges of space missions. There are currently two analog missions that are accepting applications: the 20-Foot Chamber and the Mars Exploration Analog.

Chemical Incident Reporting – Week of 5-16-26

NOTE: See here for series background. 

Edison, NJ – 5-17-26  

Local News Report: Herehere, and here. 

There was an accident involving a fuel tanker that resulted in a massive fire. One person was killed and another was seriously injured and transported to the hospital. 

Not CSB reportable, transportation related incident. 

Belton, SC – 5-20-26  

Local News Report: Herehere, and here. 

There was a toxic vapor cloud released inside a business when sulfuric acid and bleach were mixed. No injuries or damages were reported. 

Not CSB reportable. 

Garden Grove, CA – 5-21-26  

Local News Report: Here, herehereand here. 

There is an ongoing chemical incident at a chemical manufacturing facility. A methyl-methacrylate tank is undergoing a self-polymerization reaction. So far, there has been some periodic tank venting of the slightly toxic material as the exothermic reaction has raised the temperature and pressure within the tank. As the reaction proceeds, the temperature continues to increase, which increases the rate of reaction. The concern is that at some point the temperature and pressure will increase to the point that there will be a catastrophic failure of the storage tank leading to a large release of hot, flammable, toxic material. No injuries or damages have yet been reported, but 40,000 people have been evacuated from a large area around the facility. 

Not yet CSB reportable. 

St Louis, MO – 5-21-26  

Local News Report: Herehere, and here. 

There was an anhydrous ammonia leak from a food storage facility. No injuries or damages were reported.
