In response to the third recommendation of the Presidential Commission on the Space Shuttle Challenger Accident, the NASA Administrator requested that the National Research Council form an audit panel to review the NSTS Program's criticality item and hazard analysis reassessment effort.

The audit committee was specifically requested to audit the approach taken for the program review activity and to verify the adequacy of the overall reassessment, and report their conclusions and recommendations to the NASA Administrator.
