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.
