SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is 
committed to effectively performing the Agency's communication function 
in accordance with the Space Act Section 203 (a) (3) to ``provide for 
the widest practicable and appropriate dissemination of information 
concerning its activities and the results there of,'' and to enhance 
public understanding of, and participation in, the nation's space 
program in accordance with the NASA Strategic Plan.
    At NASA Kennedy Space Center (KSC) VIP guests come to see launches 
and leave inspired. To enable and facilitate official outreach, the 
Outreach & Guest Operations Office (PX-O) relies heavily on NASA 
employees (civil servants and contractors) who elect to support 
launches in many capacities, and run tours. PX-O plans to recruit staff 
to support the Guest Operations VIP Bus Escort and Site Lead Team 
program known as the GO TEAM program. Bus escorts play a critical role 
engaging VIP guests, disseminating information about facilities and 
missions, as well as ensuring guests get to tour locations and launch 
viewing sites, and are returned to their correct point of departure 
seamlessly. Of the various launch staffing roles, bus escorts require 
special skills--the ability to speak well with high level guests about 
NASA missions and KSC facilities, solve problems with quick thinking, 
and act as an exemplary spokesperson for NASA.
    This role is particularly critical with Artemis-1 launch expected 
in November

2021, which alone will bring 10,000 VIP Guests to KSC. Numbers like 
these necessitate a skilled set of over 200 bus escorts for a single 
launch. The need for VIP bus escorts is essential and urgent. Artemis-1 
will reach \1/2\ of the expected total number guests for 2021which is 
22,000. The number of guests requires 300 bus escorts, which is 300% 
greater than the total bus escorts needed in all of the combined 
launches in 2019.
    Bus escorts and additional site leads need to be recruited 
internally from NASA Kennedy Space Center's internal civil servants and 
contractors. Guest Operations is looking for GO TEAM bus escorts who 
``have the right stuff'' to address and speak to NASA's highest level 
guests. As such those NSPIREHub (NASA Serves the Public to Inspire, 
Reach out, and Engage) staff applicants need to be screened to help 
assess if they can serve as high-caliber NASA Spokespeople.
