“4. Agencies should make publicly available all Conflict of Interest waivers granted to committee members.
NASA is committed to making publicly available the names of all committee members receiving Conflict of Interest waivers:
* NASA practice is to grant such waivers rarely.
* NASA anticipates revising NPD 1150.11 by October 31, 2011, to stipulate that the Agency will make publicly available the names of all committee members receiving Conflict of Interest waivers.”

“NASA Centers conducted a search for Agency records using the above listing as search criteria and located 30 records responsive to your request. Ofthese records, 23 are released in full, and seven records are being denied in part. One record contains information withheld under 5 U.S.C. 552 (b)(5) as the information pertains to inter-agency or intra-agency memorandums or letters which would not be available by law to a party other than an agency in litigation with the agency. Six records are being withheld in part pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552 (b)(6). This information was not required for public release under Office of Government Ethics requirements for financial disclosure and, ifreleased, would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion ofpersonal privacy. Under 14 CFR 1206.605,”
